Special jury met to select the winners of the Polyglot Video Contest!

NISI MASA announces Polyglot Video Contest winners

Due to technical problems which we announced on our website, unfortunately the online voting had to be cancelled. This meant that the jury had the challenge of choosing their 18 favourite video entries. The deliberations resulted in an equal number of selections from the documentary and fiction categories, and winners aged between 19 and 32 from 12 different countries and even more nationalities.
