THE JUDGING PANEL
A judge never scores a whole entry. Each one is given one or more criteria and applies them to every entry in the category, so the same eye applies the same measure. Penalties and bonuses are scored by all of them and averaged.
Judges appear here one at a time, as each of them accepts the invitation and completes a profile. Until then, the panel that judged edition I is in the archive.
Meet the 2026 panelThe judges of edition I are recorded in the 2026 archive and are not carried over. Every 2027 judge is invited separately and appears here only after accepting and completing a profile.
