| WSA GRAND JURY |
| The WSA Grand Jury, along with the Winners Gala events, belongs to the most important Events in the entire WSA process. Since 2003, it brings together renowned multimedia experts from all parts of the world - Africa, Asia, Australia and Oceania, North and Latin America, and Europe - in the unique opportunity to learn about and judge the best digital content and most innovative applications from around the world, forming a unique college of evaluation.
|
In 2003 WSA Grand Jury was invited and hosted in Dubai, and in 2005 it was held in the Kingdom of Bahrain. In 2007 Grand Jury was a guest to Government of Croatia and met on the Croatian Island of Brijuni with the Croatian Global e-Content Summit followed from Sept 8th-9th.
|
The WSA Grand Jury evaluates broad range of off-line and on-line e-Content applications - all finalists selected in the framework of national WSA contests all over the world and proposed by the national experts to the Global WSA. This unique process allows insight in the trends and state of development of e-content and creativity in the world. All nominated products from each country are evaluated in a three-round judging process, and subsequently, the World's Best e-Content and Applications (5 products in each of the 8 WSA categories) are selected.
