INTERNATIONAL :
We thank all international participants for their interest and effort in the WAVES Film Poster-Making Challenge.
After careful review by our jury, we found that the entries in the international segment did not meet the creative or thematic benchmarks set for the competition. In the interest of maintaining the high standards of the challenge, we have decided not to award a winner in this category this year.
We deeply appreciate the spirit of participation and look forward to more vibrant and compelling entries in future editions.
