Among them are Łukasz Kornacki (United Kingdom), Petro Lysenko (Ukraine), and other prominent professionals representing diverse schools of contemporary art.
A hallmark of Golden Time Talent is its transparent and professional evaluation process. Each submission is reviewed publicly and accompanied by detailed video feedback from members of the jury, ensuring credibility and openness. Every season attracts hundreds of participants from around the world, and the results are documented in official Golden Time Talent catalogues, as well as published on the organization’s website and social-media platforms.
