The Fondazione Benetton Studi Ricerche organizes a competition with two annual
awards for unpublished and original essays and studies on the history of games,
leisure activities, festive events, sports and general pastimes. The competition
is reserved for young scholars born in or after 1982.

The awards continue in the tradition of the Foundation, which over thirty years
has assigned 70 scholarships to graduates over a broad range of academic levels.

TOPICS

Essays must be unencumbered by any constraints and may deal with aspects of the
above-mentioned topics and their manifestations during any period, from
antiquity through to the outbreak of World War II. Submissions may be written in
