With the closing of applications for the 9th edition of 100 Presepi in the Vatican, one of the most significant stages in the journey towards the upcoming exhibition officially begins: the evaluation of the submitted works.

Over the coming weeks, the Commission appointed by the Dicastery will carefully review all applications, highlighting the creativity, artistic quality and originality of the works, together with the richness of the traditions and cultures represented by nativity scenes from different parts of the world.

Each work tells a story and conveys the sensitivity and creativity of its creator, offering a unique perspective on the meaning of Christmas and on the tradition of the nativity scene as an expression of faith, art and culture.

Thank You to All Participants

Our heartfelt thanks go to everyone who chose to take part in this new edition, sharing their work, creativity and personal testimony through the art of the nativity scene.

The participation and diversity of the works received represent a valuable contribution to the journey towards a new exhibition capable, once again, of bringing together traditions and sensibilities from all over the world.

Notification of the Selection Results

At the end of the evaluation process, all applicants will receive an email notifying them of the outcome of the selection.

The appointment with 100 Presepi in the Vatican is drawing closer. Further updates on the journey towards the 9th edition will be announced in the coming weeks.
