The Arab Fund for Arts and Culture selects jurors based on their expertise in their respective cultural fields and industries as well as their knowledge of local realities across the region. AFAC’s jurors hail from across the Arab world; every year, new jurors join the juror pool, which today includes cultural professionals, notable artists, writers and filmmakers, critics and industry experts. Beyond evaluating proposals and awarding grants, AFAC’s jurors fulfill an advisory capacity for the grantees and support and promote AFAC’s work.
