AiTHERION | Two international awards for the "Democracy and Eudaimonia" Exhibition

AiTHERION’s digital philosophy exhibition “Democracy and Eudaimonia” has won two new important awards at international festivals, further strengthening its artistic identity.

The first award came from the international Art Directors Club of Europe Awards (ADCE), in which the exhibition “Democracy and Eudaimonia” won the Silver Award in the Interactive & Mobile: Place-specific Experiences category. The ADCE Awards are highly regarded as one of the leading European graphic design, advertising and creative design competitions, as a prerequisite for participation in the works is their distinction in their country of origin. Participation in the exhibition was secured thanks to AiTHERION’s double victory at this year’s EBGE 2024 awards in May (Gold Award for Digital Applications and General Digital Applications).

The second distinction concerns the animated film “Aithra’s Call” which won the Best VR Film award at the 15th International Peloponnese Bridges Festival. The film, which is being shown in 360° projection as part of the “Democracy and Eudaimonia” exhibition, was released this year in a special VR edition, participating in selected international festivals (Cornwall Film Festival, Festival Internacional de Cine con Medios Alternativos, Cyprus International Film Festival, etc.).
