The Selection Process

The jury consists of panel of experts recognized by their peers and is mandated to review the submissions selected by the AVICOM General Commissariat. Its selection is based on the quality of the content (scientific value) and the form (presentation, ease of use) and may also take originality into account. Prizes are awarded based on a majority vote. The jury reserves the right not to award a prize in a particular category if it deems that no submission has fulfilled its prerequisites. The works of the finalists will be presented to FAIMP participants before the official awards ceremony.
