Janka Szwykowska Interview(s)

It's my first international jury membership and I'm very excited to join it.
I really liked the idea of diversifying jury members based on their professions and experience. This way, I feel that my own experience and expertise can also be valuable and useful.

Just as in the creation process of a campaign, a broad perspective is needed in its evaluation. The synergy between diverse environments and a variety of viewpoints provides an opportunity for an objective assessment and also broadens members horizons. Win-win!

This is a really great solution. I believe that by doing this, we are bringing some fresh air into the industry. We're giving smaller projects and entities a chance to participate in the festival and showcase their achievements. I often come across great works whose creators don't have the financial means to enter international competitions, causing them to go unnoticed.
I hope that such a solution will encourage them to participate.

An example of excellence, innovation, and impact in their respective field. They would demonstrate exceptional skill, creativity, and originality in their work, pushing boundaries and setting new standards. Additionally, they would have a positive influence on their community and the whole industry, inspiring others and making a meaningful contribution to the world around them.
