Works were judged by esteemed regional artists and educators. Judges awarded student works based on the following criteria:

  • Originality: Work that breaks from convention, blurs the boundaries between genres, and challenges notions of how a particular concept or emotion can be expressed.
  • Technical Skill: Work that uses technique to advance an original perspective or a personal vision or voice, and shows skills being utilized to create something unique, powerful, and innovative.
  • Emergence of a Personal Vision or Voice: Work with an authentic and unique point of view and style.
