This project is inspired by the entrepreneurial vision of Paolo Coppini , who deeply believed in the synergies between art and extra virgin olive oil , and aims to promote a cultural movement that transcends simple work, creating deep connections between creativity and culture .

Theme 2025: "Nobody is an island"

A message of inclusivity: every person and every living being is part of a whole. Artists are called to reinterpret this message and transform it into an image.

Accepted art forms:

Collage, Graffiti, Illustration, Engraving, Painting and Graphics.

(AI-created images will not be accepted)

How to participate:

Artists must send their work in 50x67 cm format by March 26, 2025 to the email address segreteria@coppini.it.

Non-digital works must be scanned or photographed in high quality respecting the 50x67 cm format.

The composition of the work must take into account the presence of the logo and information on the label in the indicated position

(see image below).

Each artist may submit only one image. The works submitted to the competition must not be sold or transferred to other companies during the selection period.

Selection and Award Ceremony:

A jury will select 10 finalist works, which will be exhibited during the awards ceremony on June 10, 2025 at the Agorà Orsi Coppini Museum in San Secondo Parmense. During the event, the winner will be announced, whose work will be adapted to the label of a limited edition of our extra virgin olive oil (1500 labels).

Award:

1st Place : Cash prize of €1000, a box of Coppini Arte Olearia products including a limited edition bottle of extra virgin olive oil with the artist's work adapted to the "Paolo Coppini Award" 2025 label

The 1st place artist undertakes not to sell or give the same image to other companies in the food sector either before or after the award ceremony.

From 2nd to 10th place: A Coppini Arte Olearia product box including a limited edition bottle of extra virgin olive oil with the artist's work (1st Place) adapted to the "Paolo Coppini Award" 2025 label

The 10 selected works may be used by the company for communication on social media, calendars and other promotional tools.

Product Distribution: The limited edition extra virgin olive oil will be available on our online shop ( www.coppiniarteolearia.com ), at our retailers and catering customers. It will be presented at all company events from June 10, 2025 to June 10, 2026, while stocks last.

Each bottle will be precious, not only for the very high quality oil contained within, but also for the work of art that surrounds it, the fruit of the imagination of those who have been able to reinterpret the theme "Nobody is an island". Thus, purchasing this bottle will mean not only tasting an excellent extra virgin olive oil, but also taking with you a fragment of culture and creativity, capable of transmitting emotions and reflections, uniting worlds that, as Paolo Coppini believed, are destined to coexist and enrich each other.
