dcro 10,210 Posted April 6, 2021 #371 Share Posted April 6, 2021 J'en Suis La Award As we count down to the latest TISC Grand Final, to be held in Poland on Saturday, April 17th, we have decided to use this timeframe to catch up with our very own TISC Special Awards. There are three different Special Awards in total. The J'en Suis La Award and the Passionfruit Award have been introduced in 2018 as part of the 10th edition Jubilee legacy, while the newly formed STOP THE COUNT! Award got first celebrated in the Netherlands last year. While nobody really aims (or wants) to claim these awards, they do serve their purpose within the TISC festivities, if nothing else to remind us all of the exciting Grand Final journeys that the various award recipients have experienced. Today, we will take a closer look at the J'en Suis La Award and its recipients... The J'en Suis La Award is reserved for the song which climbed the most places between the half-way point and the conclusion of a given contest. After going through a rough opening patch, most participants would agree that there is nothing sweeter than witnessing your own entry gain numerous positions during the late afternoon and evening sessions, and the J'en Suis La Award is designed to recognize just that. The award owes its name to the French entry J'en Suis La (by Slimane), which remarkably climbed from 33rd to 10th during the second half of the 10th edition Jubilee in Brazil. Indeed, the 2018 Annual Jubilee was destined to be a very special edition. So much so that seemingly every jury was looking to post the best result they could, more than ever, just to commemorate it. French jury was no exception, however after scoring just 15 points between the first 20 (!) juries, the expectations were no longer too high. But that is when the ball started rolling. Numerous high scores, including three silver and three bronze medals, started coming the way of France. It was enough to lift them up to 108 points and a respectable 10th place finish - something that nobody saw coming during the lunch break. The record jump of 23 places has been unmatched since. Celebrating the Jubilee legacy, the award itself officially got introduced in the run-up towards the 2018 Open in Orlando, Florida. Its first recipient was Malta, who then climbed from 28th to 15th. Other recipients include New Zealand (2019 Annual; 27th -> 9th), Finland (2019 Open; 24th -> 13th), China (2020 Annual; 19th -> 2nd) and Germany (2020 Open; 16th -> 7th). On average, the J'en Suis La Award recipients climb 13,6 places. The recipient's average half-way point ranking is 23rd, while their average final ranking is 9th. China's Grain in Ear (by Zhao Fangjing) is the only award recipient who eventually earned a podium position, while every other award recipient has also finished 15th or better.

rybak 3,217 Posted April 6, 2021 Author #372 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Next place which we will visit at our journey around Poland is... Rogalin Palace Rogalin Palace - a historic palace in the village of Rogalin in the Greater Poland Voivodeship. Branch of the National Museum in Poznań. From 2018, the palace and park complex has the status of a historical monument. The palace in Rogalin was built in the years 1770-1776 by Kazimierz Raczyński, who was the writer of the Crown, and then the general starost of Wielkopolska and the royal court marshal. On his initiative, a late baroque palace complex in the entre cour et jardin type (between the courtyard and the garden) was created, which has survived to this day in its original shape. The author of the project was probably an artist from the circle of Saxon architects active in Warsaw at that time. During the construction works, Kazimierz Raczyński commissioned Dominik Merlini and Jan Chrystian Kamzetzer to implement a partially classicist facade and interior design (hall and parade stairs). Behind the palace there is a French garden with a mound that closes it, from which there used to be a view towards the Warta River. In the years 1817-1820, Kazimierz's grandson, Edward Raczyński erected a church-mausoleum dedicated to St. Marcellinus, modeled on the Roman maison carree temple in Nimes, France, and extended the establishment to a landscape park. In the palace, he rebuilt the ballroom into a neo-Gothic armory to celebrate the former military achievements of Poles. In the second half of the 19th century, the present form of the courtyard was created, with a lawn and chestnut alleys. At the end of the 19th century, Edward Aleksander Raczyński and his wife Róża née Potocki renovated the palace, transforming the former baroque dining room into a neo-baroque library designed by Zygmunt Hendel. In 1910, the gallery building was erected, in which a collection of European and Polish paintings of the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries was available to the public, considered before the Second World War as the best collection of contemporary painting in Poland. After World War II, the palace was taken over by the communist authorities and in 1949 it became a branch of the National Museum in Poznań. Edward Bernard Raczyński established in 1990 the Raczyński in Poznań and handed over to her the palace and park in Rogalin, the Rogalin Gallery at the National Museum, of which he remained the actual owner, and his rights to the land property surrounding the palace and the Rogalin park. The palace and park in Rogalin remained in the hands of the National Museum in Poznań. Wumo and Bohemia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
