A very respectable and prestigious contest.
However, I have to expose my criticism regarding one very contrasting aspect: the prize is named "International" but the jury comes fully from the same country (guess which one). No doubts about their great competence but to judge is also a matter of sensibility and culture.
If they want to use the attribute International properly then they should definitely consider this point.
