The BFSP is an annual award addressed to young international artists, established with the aim of promoting the use of bronze and the ancient lost wax casting process in contemporary art practices. The BFSP wishes to be an international showcase for new emerging talents, through the monitoring, selection and formation of international artists in the production of innovative works. Ten international leading gures of the contemporary art world select ten artists each presenting a proposal for a bronze cast. A jury then evaluates the projects paying speci c attention to their procedural features, which constitute an extremely challenging process within the casting process.
