Andrei Liimets, one of the union of film journalists' (Filmiajakirjanike Ühing) panel responsible for choosing the winner said: "Kaspar deserves recognition both for his impressive work as editor-in-chief of ERR's culture portal and for his rapid development as a critic."

Others deserving or recognition include German Golub for his strong and courageous articles in the Sirp cultural publication, and Eero Epner, author of a biography of Estonian actor Lembit Ulfsak (1947-2017).

Viilup has headed up the culture portal since 2015 and has contributed to Sirp, Müürileht and several other cultural publications.

Maria Ulfsak-Šeripova, a film critic and daugther of Lembit Ulfsak, was winner in 2021.
