The past few weeks have brought rapid and unexpected changes around the world, leading us to reconsider whether we could host our gala on May 7th as planned.
After careful consideration, we have decided not to proceed with the in-person event.
Since 2000, this annual celebration has been a constant in our calendar. We had hoped that interruptions – such as during the pandemic – would remain exceptional. Recent events have shown otherwise.
What remains unchanged, however, is the exceptional quality and diversity of this year’s entries.
Together with an outstanding international jury, we have completed the evaluation process, and all participants have now been notified of their results.
Award winners have already been informed, while the exact level of each award will be revealed on May 7th.
The Audience Choice Award, introduced during last year’s live event, will now take place in a digital format. Award-winning participants are invited to take part in this online showcase, with selected projects presented to the public from April 30th to May 6th.
We are also preparing additional online moments, with experts sharing insights and reflections from the industry.
While this year takes a different form, the significance of this year’s work endures.
We look forward to sharing and recognizing it on May 7th.
