Over the years, we've witnessed the quality of submissions get stronger and stronger, with surrounding discussions becoming more rigorous and robust. With many regional pieces already earning accolades at other award shows this summer, it's shaping up to be a vintage year for Germany at the Immortals. We can't wait for our jurors to experience the work!"
