Meet the 57th Golden Prague Festival Jury
This year, the five-member Jury will be made up of representatives from Switzerland, Finland, Canada, Croatia and the Czech Republic.
The Golden Prague 2020 Jury’s hands will be full, as they will have to award five prizes: Grand Prix Golden Prague, three Czech Crystals and Special Mention for Extraordinary Artistic Achievement. Who will choose the winning pictures this year?
Markus Wicker, Swiss TV and radio producer will be heading the Jury. Since 2013 he has been Editor-in-chief and Producer for Culture, Music and Events in the culture department of SRF, producing music documentary features, concert events and developing music formats.
