Judged In The Open, Scored By People Who Build
Every entry is scored on the same four criteria. The weights, the thresholds and the jurors are public, and every award comes with a certificate anyone can verify.
The score
Four Criteria, One Published Formula
Jurors score each criterion from 1 to 10. Members give one overall score. The final score is 80% jury and 20% community.

Questions
Before You Submit
Can I pay for a better score?
No. Tiers change how fast the review is, how many images you show and where the work is placed. The score comes only from the jury and the community.
Who are the jurors?
Designers and developers invited by staff. Their names and scores are published with every result, and they cannot score their own work.
Who can vote in the community?
Members with a confirmed email whose account is at least 3 days old. One score per work, which can be changed until voting closes.
What happens on a tie?
The work with more jury scores wins; if that is equal too, the one approved first.
Can an award be withdrawn?
Yes, when the work breaks the rules, for example plagiarism. Its certificate then stops verifying.
