The Jury

The independent body of currently 154 jurors is as heterogeneous as the range of musical genres and word art productions. At present, there are 32 juries. Five experts per jury determine and evaluate the best new productions. All members of the jury share a deep knowledge of the genre they are evaluating. All jury members of the PdSK e.V. do their work for the »German Record Critics’ Award« voluntarily.
