Evaluation Panel

The Evaluation Panel judges have been carefully chosen for their knowledge and experience. Each judge scores and comments on the submissions assigned to them using the scoring rubric. Each valid submission will receive five sets of reviews that have been statistically normalized to ensure fairness for everyone.  More judges will be featured in the coming weeks.
