The Driving Energy Award 2022 – Contemporary Photography is a project created by Terna — the company that manages Italy's electricity transmission grid — to help document the state of the art of contemporary photography in Italy.

The project has attracted great attention and interest in the industry, gathering the works of the many photographers from all over Italy who took up the challenge to give a creative interpretation of Terna's mission, drawing inspiration from the metaphorical power of driving and transmitting energy (in fact, the theme of this first edition was 'Cameras on Driving Energy').

The curator of the Award and the jury — comprised of Salvatore Settis, Lorenza Bravetta, Elisa Medde, Emanuele Trevi, and Massimiliano Paolucci — were able to put together a selection of works of supreme national and international importance and value for the exhibition at Palazzo delle Esposizioni.

Works by 40 artists will be on display. Among them are internationally renowned Italian photographers, such as Ventura, Campigotto, Barbieri, Biasiucci, Castore, Cagol, Ragucci, and Mariniello, authors from the new generations, such as Frapiccini, Botto, Graziani, Dandini de Sylva, Barile, Magrelli, Mortarotti, Neri, Nostri, and Scollo, and some surprising artists under 30, like Renis, Keita, Postiglione, Calogero, and Lisanti. 

The Driving Energy Award is also meant to stimulate innovation and sustainability. For this reason, the exhibition has also been developed in the Metaverse, marking a joint “first time”. In fact, it is the first project with which Terna and Palazzo delle Esposizioni land in this virtual space destined to profoundly affect our habits, including the ones related to cultural consumption and exchange. A version of the 3D exhibition will soon be available on the official website for the Award and will remain available to anyone, any time, from anywhere in the world, even after the exhibition closes in Rome (Sunday, 27 November).

The Driving Energy Award was developed and managed by TernaCult, Terna's function dedicated to cultural promotion within and outside the company.
