Juries

Independent juries are chosen by the Culture and Arts Program (CAP) to evaluate all submissions for grants and awards. Using rigorous criteria, juries work in accordance with the Foundation’s vision of an enlightened, just, free, and tolerant society.

The Foundation aims to have an international presence and to help create open discourse across the sciences, arts, and literature. After receiving endorsement from CAP’s management, a jury cannot be altered.
