The program will be a rolling process of nomination and selection to identify six new talents from each of the world’s six continents. We are looking especially for people who are not yet well known outside of their own countries. Each year, the 6×6 program will highlight work from three of six global regions. The individuals who are nominated must be current passport holders of one of the countries in the region for which they are being nominated. New work from those selected will be published every four months so a new global perspective will be completed every two years.
