What judges look for
How Entries Are Judged
Each entry is reviewed by a panel of judges. Entries are scored individually against the criteria below, and final placement is determined by the average score across all judges.
Rating Guidelines
Rate each photograph on a scale of 1 to 10 for each criterion. Consider technical quality, compositional strength, theme interpretation, and emotional impact. Rate thoughtfully — give each image genuine consideration.
