The jury is composed of young personalities of the international circus scene under the presidency of Pauline Ducruet, daughter of H.S.H. Princess Stephanie.

Having served on her first jury when she was just nine years old at the Festival International du Cirque de Monte-Carlo created by Prince Rainier III, it was natural that Pauline’s mother H.S.H. Princess Stéphanie of Monaco would pass on her and her family’s love for the circus. And so it is natural that this devotion, this passion and enthusiasm for the circus, and in particular for identifying and presenting best future circus talents, is  being expressed by  Pauline Ducruet, daughter of H.S.H. Princess Stephanie, as she presides over the Jury choosing the winners.

And these winners in performing in that magical ring under the Big Top at the Espace Fontvieille themselves help carry the torch of the Circus into the future. It will burn that much more brightly because of them. And in each year in future, tens of thousands of spectators will attend their performances in the Principality where time will be suspended over «a closed arena conducive to escape, allowing us to no longer dwell on ourselves, but to sink into delight and bliss, immersed in mystery». This beautiful quote chosen by Prince Albert from Henry Miller, reflects those unique moments where creativity is coupled with the Art and where the circus offers us so much grace.

And most importantly these New Generation circus artists carry with them always the laughter and enchantment of all the children whose families gather in the Principality of Monaco to share so many wonderful moments packed with emotion.

May the circus through these prize winners in the Festival New Generation continue its amazing culture and enchant young and old, for generations to come.
