How are evaluators and panelists chosen?

Recommendations for potential evaluators and panelists come from many sources including past panelists, colleagues at arts and cultural organizations around the region and nation, and suggestions from practicing artists. All potential evaluators and panelists must be practicing, knowledgeable artists or arts professionals including curators, presenters, editors, etc. from outside of the Philadelphia area. When selecting evaluators and panel members, PFA takes into consideration age, gender, expertise and experience, ethnicity and geography to put together a well-balanced group.

The ultimate selection of evaluators and panel members is at the discretion of the PFA Director. The names of evaluators and panelists are disclosed when the awards are announced. Nominators remain anonymous.
