Judging & Judges
Judges-


Judging & Picking a Winner-
Each entry will be judged individually, based on a point system. The person with the most points will win. In the case of a tie a special secret judge will be called in to judge the two, the new points will be added, and a winner will be decided.

Points-
The entries will be pointed in a manner very similar to the Critique feature.
Points are awarded on
Vision- how well the artwork presents or reflects the contest theme (1-10 points)
Originality- the creativeness and uniqueness of the artist interpretation of the theme (1-10 points)
Technique- the level of skill presented in the artwork (1-10 points)
Impact- how the art work over all impacts the judges and draws their attention (1-10 points)
This means each entry can get a possible 40 points from each judge.
In the case of a tie a special secret judge will be called in to judge the tied entries using the same point system, the totals will be re added, and a winner will be chosen.

The winners will be announced in my journal and in a news article on August 2nd.
