On 18 May 2022, Alexander Kustov, curator of [[Kenya]], announced his refusal to participate in the competition in the future. The reason for this, as it turned out later, was the political views on the military events in Ukraine in 2022, which were fundamentally opposite to the main number of curators of the competition.
