JURY AND EXPERTS

The competition procedure of the Innovation Prize consists of two phases: first, the expert council forms shortlists from submitted applications, then the jury chooses winning projects in each nomination.

The leading Russian contemporary art specialists, some of which are the authors of the winning projects of the last year, participated in the work of the Innovation 2020 expert council. The jury of the Innovation 2020 includes mainly foreign specialists — this decision is intended to make the choice of winners more independent, to take it beyond the limits of domestic conditions, and to include nominees and laureates of the Prize into the world artistic context.
