The course of this year's competition was presented by the Deputy Chairman of the Chapter of the Economic Award, Prof. Piotr Wachowiak, rector of the Warsaw School of Economics. In the current edition of the competition, the Chapter evaluated more than 140 applications according to strict criteria and parameters.
