There are two rounds in CICLOPE Africa’s judging process. The first one is undertaken by the Executive Jury together with the Grand Jury, who watch and rank the entries online according to its excellence. The 5 (five) best ranked entries in each category will be considered finalists. The final round of judging, where the Executive Jury discusses the finalist pieces and decide on the one best work in each category, will also take place online. The Executive Jury will also award one Grand Prix for the best work of the year in the competition.

The entries selected by the Executive Jury as the best in their categories and the Grand Prix will automatically become finalists at CICLOPE Festival (to be held on November 9th & 10th, in Berlin) on the corresponding category. The winners will be announced at the event on Thursday 7th April.

We will send an email to the person who has submitted the work letting him/her know the big news. Winners will be announced on Thursday 7th April.

In that case, congratulations! The day of the announcement, we will get in touch with the winners to share the good news. Trophies will be sent by mail to the winners the following week.
