After a week of thoughtful discussion, insightful debate, and careful evaluation, our Executive Jury has completed its work.
While the entries were exceptional, what stood out most was the kindness, warmth, and generosity shared throughout the judging process. We are grateful to our Executive Jury for bringing their expertise, perspectives, and passion to the conversations that help shape the future of our industry.
A special thank you to our Executive Jury President, Andrea Diquez (GUT) for her outstanding leadership, guidance, and commitment throughout the judging process.
