The jury remarked that: ““The design aesthetic for The Pigeoning has a satisfying unity and economy as fresh and unique as the story itself. The sets are unfussy but effective and the puppet of the main character, Frank, seems well-suited to the action required, lending itself to some very stylish manipulation. The underwater ‘creatures’ are a bonus.”
Certificates of Recognition for Design in Puppet Theatre were awarded to:
MARIA BARIC, PETRI SAUNIO, and NEMANJA STOJANOVIC (Finland) for “Phoenix the Firebird”
