While we recognize everyone’s right to express anything, we claim to express our opinion as well. It seems to us that unfortunately there are too much content that are absolutely devoid of both artistic and technical value, not to mention cultural value, if not even contrary to common sense and good taste. We hope that the jury will be able to give the right recognition and prizes.
