During the CarMediaWorld and the EMMA Eurofinals in Salzburg the elite of the international competition scene is present, and a bunch of new head Judges have been educated. This year the number of participants was lower due to the fact that in 2024 the enormous amount of 120 Head Judges have received their certificate already. So now the team of Global Head Judges reaches a new record with over 150 members. Some new participants came as they are on the way to start EMMA in their country in the near future. South Korea, Israel, and the Ukraine will soon start their activities. But also, well-known faces attended the training to update their skills. The procedure was, as usual, divided into two parts, one theoretical and one practical with cars to be judged under realistic circumstances. The two days ended traditionally with a nice evening dinner and ceremony. Next year the group will become bigger as the new music material is currently in production and is supposed to be launched beginning of 2026.
