Want to Judge the Contest?

1. All graphics judged must be given a score between 0 and 10. Decimals are allowed.
2. You must judge all of the graphics you are elligible to judge in a catergory you chose to judge. You cannot look at a catergory and only judge one or two graphics (unless those are the only ones that you are capable of judging). This is to ensure that harsher or more lenient judges place all graphics under the same harsh or lenient criteria. If one group of graphics get all 10s from a generous judge and another set get all 3s from a harsh judge, the competition becomes skewed.
3. While judging all catergories is encouraged, it is not mandatory. Any contributions you can make are welcome.
4. Because an "Average Score" method is being used to judge graphics (ie. a graphic with scores of 5, 7 and 9 has a total score of 7), if one is a participant in one catergory, then they may also judge that catergory. Needless to say, however, participants in a catergory are inelligible to judge their own graphics.
5. Comments are not mandatory, but are heavily encouraged whenever seen fit.
6. Judges are advised to use the Graphic Judging Rubric:
