Each entry will be based on the entire submission. Photo and video entries will be judged according to relevance to the contest and contest question, plus creativity and originality in composition and style. Points will be awarded by a panel weighted in the following categories:

Adherence to topic: 50% - as determined by judging panel
Creativity and originality: 50% - as determined by judging panel
