Valuation

Every year the jury is starting the review with the statement "every submitted film is a good one".

Altogether 45 independent judges evaluate the submitted entries. Half of these jury members are replaced by new appointed members every single year. The jury members are specialists in their specific field of work, such as travel agents, professors, students, executives, directors, ministers, consuls, ambassadors and artists. Most of them are frequent travelers themselves.
