Jury
The jury members of the AHK Graduation Prize 2022 are Amber Kortzorg (journalist, presenter & member Supervisory Board AHK), Ahmet Polat (photographer & film maker), Inez van der Scheer (junior curator Amsterdam Museum) and jury chair Ernestine Comvalius (supervisory board member Democracy and Media Foundation & young artists' coach).

Assessment
This year we received a total of 35 works; one from the Breitner Academy, eight from the Academy of Architecture, six from the Conservatorium van Amsterdam, ten from the Netherlands Film Academy, one from the Reinwardt Academy, seven from the Academy of Theatre and Dance and two from the Master of Education in Arts. But, how to compare a museology thesis with a landscape design or an opera? The jury is faced with an inspiring and challenging task. In addition to a very good assessment by experts within the academy and by external experts, two important criteria by which the jury assesses the submissions is the degree to which the final work makes a connection with the outside world, and the potential of the project to stimulate development in the workfield.

Award Ceremony
In January the jury will announce the winners during a festive ceremony.
Date: Thursday 26 January 2023, 16:00-18:00
Location: Melkweg Amsterdam.
