Three of them, who will be selected by a special jury, they will receive a six-month scholarship (financial aid) for their next creative steps.
Alongside, at the premises of the Michalis Kakogiannis Foundation, in collaboration with the Foundation and Metropolitan Histories/Metropolis a "dialogue" with other forms of art will take place: cohesive links will emerge through a series of events such as roundtable discussions, theatrically, music and dance events, screenings of short films, visual exhibitions and happenings, laboratories, contests etc.

After Land Rover revealed to us in Frankfurt the DC100 Concept which will influence the next Defender, in Los Angeles she brought a revamped version of her original.
Land Rover continues to experiment with the new generation Defender, as the new version of the DC100 Concept revealed at the Los Angeles show. We first saw the model in Frankfurt and in its new form it has new rims 20 inches with Cooper all-terrain tires, new pale blue paint and a Candy Weiss roof.
Land Rover's chief designer, Mr Gerry McGovern, who unveiled the new DC100 Concept in Los Angeles revealed that the prototype in question may not be representative of the shape of the next Defender and said: "It's one of the plans we're considering at the moment".
