Jury

An independent jury of art and culture experts will determine the prize winners—except for the Audience Award. In the first round, the jury selects approximately 50 submissions based on the digital entries. After physical submission, the jury awards four of the five prizes. The Audience Award will be determined through public voting during the exhibition.

All award winners will be officially announced at a public award ceremony.
