The Eyes
Behind
the Prize

Every great competition needs guardians of the craft.
Our jury is not just here to hand out points -
they are here to define what retouching means in 2026:
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.
