CHITTA BANKRECOGNITION / 05
The Chitta
Prize.
For original minds whose work brings wisdom, insight and meaningful change into the world.
Not one mould.
A singular contribution.
The Chitta Prize is conceived around the individual and their lived path. Recognition may take the form of an original artwork, a distinctive experience or an opportunity for collaboration.

04 — Consciousness-oriented arts

THE PATH TO RECOGNITION
Depth before display.

Enquire about the prize ↗VISION & PHILOSOPHY
Recognition with
meaning.
The Chitta Prize celebrates thoughtful individuals whose lives and work express consciousness, wisdom, innovation and global impact.
Its philosophy begins with the idea that the best in a person deserves meaningful recognition. The form of that recognition should reflect their individual path.
The ambition is to establish a high standard for recognising authenticity, wisdom, impact and the creation of knowledge and consciousness.
HOW RECOGNITION TAKES SHAPE
01 — Nomination
Individuals or credible centres can nominate candidates. The Chitta team can also identify people whose work merits consideration.
02 — Six-layer review
The Hexa Review framework considers authenticity, impact, depth, sustainability, innovation and “consciousness vibration”. Here, the final term refers to the resonance of a contribution with Chitta’s purpose; it is not a scientific measurement.
03 — A personalised prize
Before an announcement, the team develops a profile of the selected individual and creates recognition around their personality, work and lived path.
04 — A global ceremony
The vision places ceremonies in different regions of the world. The intended character is calm and dignified: a place for respect rather than spectacle.
05 — An ongoing contribution
The selected individual is invited into Chitta’s circle of advisors and future builders, extending recognition into a continuing contribution.
THE FORM OF THE PRIZE
Created around
a lived path.
The concept includes a personalised sculpture or symbol, a dedicated artwork, an in-person scientific or contemplative experience, or an opportunity to collaborate on Chitta projects.
Dates, final review procedures and the form of any particular award should be confirmed with the Chitta team.
