For this purpose, the categories are assigned to the five jury groups, which review the submissions in their designated categories online and provide a non-binding evaluation through a voting system. This evaluation serves as a basis for discussion during the jury sessions of the individual groups, where the nominees are selected. The nominees are then reviewed by the Main Jury, which conducts a non-binding preliminary vote and discusses the results in two main jury sessions to select the award recipients in the respective categories.<br \/>\nIn the categories Artist of the Year, Artist of the Year International, and Lifetime Achievement, the Main Jury directly selects the award recipients from all submitted proposals. In the Composition\/Arrangement category, a five-member Special Jury selects the four nominees and one award recipient.<\/p>\n<p>Further information about the selection process can be found on the German Jazz Prize website, as well as in the <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1LHD5WhOnQXviZ6I7GqMJ82QR6P-MrKy1\/view\">program description<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1hAwWkjg7reKI4HZ3FQh650ZcqGWU2V_F\/view?usp=drive_link\">jury statutes<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"gb-grid-column gb-grid-column-8576dff6 gb-query-loop-item post-8898 faq type-faq status-publish hentry sprache-english\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-8576dff6\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-fba803e8 gb-accordion\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-86a6fcd1 gb-accordion__item\" data-transition=\"slide\">\n<button class=\"gb-button gb-button-a7162997 page__text gb-accordion__toggle\" id=\"gb-accordion-toggle-a7162997\"><span class=\"gb-button-text\">Where can I find an overview of the jury members?<\/span><span class=\"gb-icon\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\" width=\"1em\" height=\"1em\" aria-hidden=\"true\" role=\"img\" class=\"gb-accordion__icon-open\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button>\n\n<div id=\"gb-accordion-content-12f280bd\" class=\"gb-accordion__content\"><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-12f280bd page__text\">\n<p class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-5f4db25c gb-headline-text\"><p>Each year the jury members will be published on the German Jazz Prize website after the selection of the nominees and prize winners.
