The Leonardo da Vinci International Award (Template:Lang-it) is an annual international prize named after Leonardo da Vinci, to award outstanding achievement by young people involved in the study of the sciences, technology, literature and the arts.[1][2] Among the disciplines recognised and rewarded so far have been painting, sculpture, music, geology, architecture, medicine and nuclear physics.[3] Its previous laureates include musicians Evelyn Glennie and Leonidas Kavakos.[4]
