Each of our five judges will score the entries based on the following 60-point rubric. The points from each judge's scorecard will be added together to produce a total score per entry each round. Therefore, the highest score an entry can receive in any given round is 300 (5x60) without the bonus or 310 (5x60+10) with the bonus.
10 pts | UNIQUENESS
The judge's initial reaction to the graphic as a whole with consideration of its originality and creativity.
10 pts | RELATION TO PROMPT
How well the graphic meets the expectations of the prompt.
10 pts | CAST
The placement and balance of the cast and how well their expressions, clothing, etc. match the intended mood.
10 pts | STOCKS, PNGS, AND TEXTURES
How well any stocks, pngs, and textures are incorporated.
10 pts | COLOR
The effectiveness of the color, contrast, and lighting.
10 pts | TYPOGRAPHY

10 PTS | BONUS
