For transparency and clarity, we would like to clarify the terminology used during the announcement of the winners.
The emcee initially used the term “Runner-Up” because this was the terminology indicated on the prize cheques prepared for the awarding.
During the announcement, the Board of Judges clarified that the proper terminology for the rankings was “Placer,” and the emcee immediately followed their instruction.
We emphasize that the official rankings were based solely on the scores reflected in the official tabulation of the Board of Judges. The terminology used during the announcement did not affect, alter, or change the scores or the final ranking of any participating contingent.
For the avoidance of doubt, the emcee did not tamper with, modify, or interfere with the results. She simply followed the terminology indicated on the prepared prize cheques and immediately complied when the Board of Judges provided the clarification.
The results published above therefore reflect the official and final placement of all six participating festivals.
Moving forward, our heartfelt gratitude to our Festival Researchers:
✨ Sir Arvin Magpiong
✨ Sir Mart Caulawon
✨ Sir Clifford Jack Tuastomban
