JUDGING PANEL AND JUDGING CRITERIA

Applied Arts contests are judged by panels of highly regarded industry professionals and experts, in a rigorous process developed over our two decades of awards experience. Every entry is scored independently by each judge, based on creative merit, technical excellence and suitability for end use. Discussion is not permitted and judges must abstain from voting for their own work. All winners are reproduced in the country’s most glorious showcase of creative work, kept as a valuable reference by the Applied Arts readership of 65,000.
