FIRST STAGE JURY | SECOND STAGE JURY | FINAL JURY

FIRST STAGE JURY

This jury chose the ten works for the Shortlist. The jury members saw only the scores and recordings as marked with entry numbers; the entrants were not otherwise identified. Each work was examined by four members of the first stage jury. Any work which received a commendation from any one member proceeded to be examined by all members of this jury, and were awarded a number of points by each one. The ten works which received the highest aggregate number of points formed the Shortlist. The ten entrants whose works were selected for the Shortlist were notified by 1 March 2003. Masterprize has not announced the names of entrants who were not selected for the Shortlist.
