As Bohdan (Biś) Lisowski - president of SARP - says about the competition:
"From the perspective of the 10 years of organizing the competition for the Creative Scholarship of the SARP Krakow Branch named after Professor Bohdan Lisowski - we should emphasize the "good hand" of the competition jury in the decisions made. Each of the winners, regardless of their previous experience - already after receiving the scholarship - made a significant career on their creative path. This is very gratifying and further motivates the organization of future editions. At the same time, this financial support, not being conditioned by the performance of a specific task or the need to spend for a specific purpose, leaves the winners free to dispose of the funds. As a representative of Prof. Bohdan Lisowski's closest family, I am convinced that this form of commemorating his person - through an annual event of an evidently educational nature - is the best possible, as it fits perfectly into the professional life of an excellent didactician [...].

As the jury's justification reads about the student's portfolio:
Each of the presented projects, the result of a journey into the world of architecture, is a search for an original thought, an analysis of the context of the place and the needs of the people. The winner has made every effort to create an individual character of the space as a combination of form, colors, materials and light with functionality and ergonomics. In her work, she seeks innovative and sustainable solutions, avoids banality and is not afraid of bold and even controversial ideas. Since the quality of public space testifies to the quality of the city and affects the quality of life of its residents - when designing, he tries to follow this thought and create quality forms.
