Prince Rainier III founded the Monte-Carlo International Circus
Festival in 1974 to support the circus arts he loved so much, and especially circus
families. In this spirit, the
Organising Committee decided to create a new International Festival for Young
Artists under the Honorary Presidency of H.S.H. Princess Stephanie, in
collaboration with her eldest daughter, Pauline Ducruet, President of the Jury.
The New Generation Festival is the only circus competition for
Young Artists that is performed in a real circus ring. It takes place at the International
Circus Festival in Monaco.
