The three main operative partners of twocalls are Enel, Acqua Dolomia and Neonlauro.
The power company Enel is the owner of the Vajont Dam: its fundamental support has allowed to actualize the vision of a call for a line, thus activating the central construction site of twocalls.
It is indeed thanks to the commitment of Acqua Dolomia, that supports DC since 2011, that it was possible to create, inside the contest, the Dolomiti Contemporanee Special Prize. It will consist of two checks, each worth 1.000 Euros, that will be appointed to the two best non-feasible projects, amongst the ones selected by the inner committee and the twocalls jury.
Neonlauro is a company that has its headquarters in the Veneto region, and has been producing neon for many years. This light technology will be the medium utilized in a call for a wall.

La compagina energetica Enel è proprietaria della diga del Vajont: il suo fondamentale sostegno ha consentito di concretizzare la visione di a call for a line, attivando così il cantiere centrale di twocalls.
È proprio grazie all’impegno di Acqua dolomia, che sostiene DC sin dal 2011, che è stato possibile istituire, all’interno del concorso, il Premio Speciale Dolomiti Contemporanee. Esso consisterà in due assegni da 1.000 euro ciascuno, che andranno ai due migliori progetti non realizzabili, tra quelli selezionati dal comitato interno e dalla giuria di twocalls.

On April the 30th the first phase of the International Artistic Contest Two Calls for Vajont, launched in June 2014 by Dolomiti Contemporanee drew to a close.
The Contest was conceived as an open platform of reflection on the territory of the Vajont and on its terrible history (October the 9th 1963), and as an opportunity to rethink, through the production of a series of renovating images, the landscape and some of the main symbols of that history today, transforming them from still objects-memories of the tragedy into active and shared “construction sites” of the mind and spirit.
