MORE ON JUDGING…

Images are judged independent of each other. Judges submit scores based on a three-through-nine scale, with three being the lowest possible score and nine being the highest possible score. In each category, approximately one-ninth of the entries will be designated as Honor entries. These entries will be those that received scores placing them in the top one-ninth of all entries.

After the Honors designations have been made in a category, the remaining entries that received scores placing them in the top one-third of total entries for that category will be deemed to be "Accepted" (or Honorable Mention).

Immediately after Honors and Accepted entries have been determined for a category, the judges shall select the Best of Show entry in open judging of the Honor entries. Medallions will be awarded to all Best of Show entries.
