A new addition to the DaVinci awards platform is on the horizon. In 2025, the festival will introduce all-new award categories to include architecture and invention, among others to honor the multi-disciplinary creative and pay tribute to the luminary himself, Leonardo da Vinci.
He [Leonardo da Vinci] was a master storyteller, and articulated creative and divergent works across many disciplines — a Polymath. I can’t wait to build out this new program and spotlight creativity in new and exciting ways. – Chadwick Pelletier, Founder & CEO
