One of the most important criteria of Mehregan Prize which has been the main cause of its endurance and continuation, are its members of the jury. They are the Jury members who, in the light of their knowledge and specializations, judge and assess the works and play a valuable role in preserving and developing the objectives of the Mehregan Prize.
