Jury

The jury consists of a diverse set of individuals from around the world, who volunteer their time and experience to listen to our students’ presentations, play all of their games and deliver awards for outstanding achievements. Each member brings their own distinct expertise and share their insight and experience directly with the students at the Gotland Game Conference.
