Jury
Works in each competition category will be evaluated by a jury appointed for that category which will be composed of five members. Before the main competition, juries will pre-select the programmes and decide which ones should proceed to the main competition. In the main competition, votes for the best programmes will be cast through a secret ballot, once all entries have been heard.
The jury will be expanded to include an independent student jury. This jury can hand out student prizes for any entries, regardless of whether they were included in the pre-selection by the expert jury or not.
