Behind
the Prize

Every great competition needs guardians of the craft.

honest, refined, and unforgettable.
Each of them brings a different perspective -
from behind the lens, from the retouching desk,
and from years of creative direction
and leadership.

the Jury

Name: Szilvia Kovács “Syluette”SKILLS: Lifestyle & Campaign PhotographerJURY Panel: Hungary
Szilvia Kovács “Syluette”

Syluette is one of Hungary’s most recognisable lifestyle photographers. Her images breathe authenticity; she is known for invisible retouching - the kind that cannot be spotted, only felt. For Syluette, great retouching is like great storytelling: you know it worked when it disappears into the experience.

“Invisible retouching isn't the absence of work - it's the presence of taste.”

The full jury lineup will be revealed as registration unfolds.
