March 08

March 8th is Woman’s Day across the globe. We really couldn’t think of a better moment to open the call for entries for our 2012 edition, dedicated to the hot issue of Gender Equality. It’s finally time to get started with the creative work! The condition of women has undergone undeniable improvements during the last century. But these improvements haven’t happened everywhere and even where they have been the strongest, well, they are far from being strong enough. Gender inequality still lingers unchallenged: it’s one of those things that are hard to see precisely because they are right in front of our eyes. That’s why we ask all of you to see beyond the status quo and imagine a different future. We need gender equality now, because more opportunities for women are more opportunities for us all. The jury members of this current edition are: Majid Abbasi (Iran), Cristina Chiappini (Italy), Gitte Just (Denmark), Maria Kurpik (Poland), Alain Le Quernec (France), Malte Martin (France), Leila Musfy Awad (Lebanon), Carolina Rojas (Colombia), Serge Serov (Russia), Paula Troxler (Switzerland), Rene Wanner (Switzerland) and Guy Schockaert (Belgium) as moderator.
