If you're interested in our judging criteria, here it is:

I. CREATIVITY/ORIGINALITY

A huge part of design is coming up with a concept! Whether you're putting your own spin on the latest design trend or even starting a new trend, we're interested in your work and the ideas you've put into it.

II. SKILL/TECHNIQUE

But graphics wouldn't be complete without their execution - and with that in mind, we're also looking at how well you do this! Here's your opportunity to display your skills, whether they're blending, typography, or choosing gorgeous colour palettes that make your viewers swoon. (Of course, everything will be taken into context - different people are at different steps in their designing journey, and we acknowledge and respect that.) 

III. ARTISTRY/WOW FACTOR

Finally, we're looking at how well the graphic overall comes together! Graphics are complex combinations of skill, ideas, colours, etc, which ultimately come together to form masterpieces.
