Three rounds of rigorous judging.

Round One: Up to 500 judges are hand-picked from around the world. Judges are allocated entries to review and are selected with great care to ensure an equitable balance of expertise and experience. Only the most competitive entries will continue to the Finalist Round.

Finalist Round: Up to 100 judges from around the world convene in local regions, New York, and via remote access to debate a shortlist of the best work.
