⤹ ## CRITERIA DETAILS
As a starter, let's explore the judging criteria and how much weight each category carried for this round.
## Creativity: 35% This is all about standing out! We're looking for originality and depth in your submissions. Does your work break the mold and bring fresh ideas to the table? It should convey messages in a unique way, going beyond just surface-level descriptions.
## Visual Appeal: 15% Think of this as the eye candy factor! This category measures how attractive and well-presented your submission is. We'll consider everything from your use of color and composition to how effectively your visuals communicate the task's essence — bonus points if you can do this without relying too much on external text (explanations and backstories).
## Technical Execution: 25% Here, we evaluate your skills and craftsmanship. We'll look at how well you've executed your work, considering the resources you had at your disposal — whether that's materials, software, or your own experience. Everything from line work and shading to overall polish will come into play.
## Adherence to Guidelines: 10% This category checks how well your submission follows the competition's rules and requirements. We're talking about theme, format, resource safety, and any specific instructions.
## Overall Impact: 15% This focuses on the lasting impression your submission leaves on the audience (or not). Does it evoke the right mood and reaction for the competition? We want to see how well your visuals draw in interest and spark curiosity — after all, a captivating submission should leave us wanting more!
