Criteria
How do you compare choreography with an architectural design, or a heritage thesis with a mime performance? The jury are faced with a difficult task each year. Important criteria upon which the jury evaluates the entries, in addition to them having been assessed as very good, include the way in which a connection is made with the outside world in the graduation project, and the relevance of the work for the further development of the profession. The jury also takes into account the difference in level between Bachelor’s and Master’s graduation projects.

Awards ceremony
Everyone is welcome to attend this festive ceremony.
Date: Monday 27 November 2017, 16:00-19:00 (including drinks reception)
Location: Grootlab, Amsterdam-Noord
