Prince Albert II and Princess Caroline of Hanover presided over the Prince Pierre Foundation Prize Ceremony on Wednesday 15th October at the Palais Princier, awarding three major prizes in recognition of outstanding contributions to contemporary literature and art.
Created in 1966 by Prince Rainier III to honour the memory of his father, Prince Pierre, a noted patron of the arts, the Foundation continues to support cultural creation under the presidency of Princess Caroline. Each year, it rewards leading and emerging figures across the artistic and literary spectrum.
During the ceremony, Their Serene Highnesses presented the prizes in person and offered their congratulations to the 2025 laureates. Louis-Philippe Dalembert received the Literary Prize for his influential body of work, Ruben Barroukwas awarded the Discovery Grant for new talent, and Simone Fattal was recognised with the International Contemporary Art Prize.
The event, held in the formal setting of the Palace, highlighted Monaco’s continued role as a supporter of the arts and a platform for cultural excellence in the region and beyond.
