Entries are judged individually, not compared one to another and judges give their scores. Final scores are the result of the sum of all scores obtained from all judges in the category.
If a Judge identifies any real or perceived conflicts of interest in relation to the assigned entries, the Judge must immediately notify the Management Company. Judges cannot judge own company or entry.
All participants will receive a Certificate of Participation.
