It will participate in Phase 2, during the end of May and mid-June, to evaluate all the candidate practices and select the finalists for Phase 3.
- Jury 2: to deliberate the winning practice and special mentions. This jury will be composed of between 5 and 7 people. It will participate in Phase 3, between July and August, to select the winning practice and special mentions, taking into account the open vote of the IOPD Community.
