Advisory committee
The role of this committee is to advise the organising committee on the organisation of the awards and the selection of the entries by suggesting improvements to the rules and regulations or by proposing jury members. While the advisory committee advises and supports the organisation of the MEDEA Awards, all decisions related to the selection of winners rests with the judging panel. Several advisory committee members have also taken part as members of the judging panel.
