CINARS Recognition Awards and Generation CINARS

CINARS Recognition Awards and Generation CINARS: two initiatives to elevate the performing arts

In 2026, CINARS reaffirms its commitment to the field by evolving its awards program: the 4 Recognition Awards are now expanded into a set of 8 distinctions, including Génération CINARS, formerly known as Ma Première Biennale.

The CINARS Recognition Awards remain at the heart of this initiative. They will continue to highlight the excellence, commitment, and outstanding contributions of individuals, presenters, institutions, agents, and professionals who have played a key role in the development, circulation, and international visibility of the performing arts.

Generation CINARS, for its part, takes the form of a more structured program dedicated to support and international visibility. Designed for artists, companies, agents, producers, and arts service organizations, this initiative aims to support career paths with strong international development potential.
