Judging Criteria
The panel of judges will refer to the below judging criteria to give each question response a score between 0-5. Each of the judging criteria guidelines are applied against the corresponding entry question - for example, JC1 applies to entry question 1: "Provide an outline of your project".
Scores will be assessed against the score sheet outlined below.
In the event of a tie, the tied submissions will be independently accessed by the full panel of judges (4). A preferential voting system will be enacted where each panel member is asked to nominate one (1) story as the winner, with others recognised as Highly Commended. Further terms & Conditions regarding judging and the competition can be found here.
NB: Judges decisions are final. No further correspondence or discussion regarding judging scores/decision will be entered into.
