Judging Criteria
Portfolio work will be judged on uniqueness/originality, professional quality (craftsmanship/skill), aesthetics (style, tone, design), concept and application of materials.
Judges score all portfolio items submitted as a whole, and not just a single piece of work. Due to the vast amount of art and craft forms we accept in this category, entries are not scored against one another. Scores are based on the individual skill, craft and creativity of each artist/creator, based on the form(s) they’re using (art, craft, makeup, toys).
