Selection Process
The selection process is fair and transparent. Every work is scored by our Expert Jury on a 10-point scale. To ensure objectivity, jury members vote individually and do not see each other’s scores. The final winners are selected based on the arithmetic mean of all scores. This independent evaluation guarantees that only the best professional works are included in our exhibition and catalog.
Professional Jury Panel
Each artwork will be thoughtfully reviewed by a distinguished panel of art world professionals — including award-winning artists, curators, art directors, jurors of international competitions, honorable members of global art organizations, and renowned cultural figures with decades of experience.

Digital Exhibition Catalog
