Statements of the jury members |
|
My great gratitud to the Organizing Committee for
giving me the second chance to be on the jury board. CHIPP is becoming more
diverse and harmonious. It has been five years since the first CHIPP was held. The
contest is like a child who is learning to walk, run, observe and express itself.
And it is growing fast. I sincerely hope that it will attract
a bigger crowd of audience. |
