50 percent Originality
An entry must have its own substance. It must have unique features from other entries.

20 percent Improvisation
An entry can make use of existing images outside of OZ. The quantity of foreign substance contained in the image will not be a factor. How the creator used those existing images to blend, and improve the existing OZ World image will be the factor.

15 percent Quality
The amount of visible pixels will be rated. The more visible pixels, the lower the rate is.

There must be harmony between colors.
