On 20 June, the nominees for the Piket Art Prizes were announced. Since 2014, the Prizes are awarded annually to promising young artists that have a relationship with the Hague region, either because (s)he flourished there or because his/her work provides a stimulating contribution to the local cultural environment. Among the nominees is Faile Sol, who has been studying at the Royal Conservatoire (School for Young Talent and Bachelor of Dance) since 2017.

Faile: 'I've never felt the need to participate in dance competitions, because I'm not a competitive person. This nomination feels different. This is for who I am and what I stand for and not what I present. I am very grateful for this.'

The winners will be announced on October 10 in the in the Lourdeskerk in Scheveningen.
