On the occasion of this new edition of the A.N.F. Entreprendre - BARNES prize, the President of the jury wished to send a message to all participants:
« Created in 1932 to provide material, moral and cultural support to the families and persons of the French nobility, the A.N.F., a mutual aid association, today constitutes a community of 50,000 people belonging to 3,000 families. Its members share strong values, forged during the long history of the nobility, closely linked to that of France: excellence, sense of service, honour, respect for others and the desire to pass on. »
