They have formed part of the jury Agus Barandiaran, trikitilari from Korrontzi; Gabriel Erkoreka, composer and Musikene teacher; Gema Sánchez, coordinator of AIEnRUTA; Iker Bárbara, head of the Zarata Mondo Sonoro magazine; Maite Larburu, violinist and singer-songwriter; Maria Taosa, journalist for Radio 3; Mark Barnes, responsible for scores and documentation at Eresbil – Basque Music Archive; and Sonia Durán, manager of the Independent Phonographic Union (UFI).
