For the newcomers, only the winner was revealed; for the big artists section, "initially only the first three positions were announced," while the complete final ranking was disclosed only several weeks after the end of the festival.
The "quality jury", responsible for rewarding best music, best lyrics and "best arrangements," consisted of composer Michael Nyman, singer-songwriter Roberto Vecchioni, writer Vincenzo Cerami, record producer Celso Valli and vice-president of Rome-Europe Foundation Monique Vaute.
