Awards
The judges may select as many awards of Gold, Silver, and Excellence as they see fit.
In addition to the category awards, Best of Show will be awarded providing there is a single piece which stands out above the rest. Also, the Richard Hess Spirit of Creativity Award may be given to that piece which best exemplifies innovation or excellence in concept or execution in any entry that does not win for Best of Show. Also, the judges may choose Judges’ Awards for those pieces that stand out above the rest but do not win for the Richard Hess Spirit of Creativity Award or Best of Show.
Note: Individual pieces can be entered into as many categories as you like, but will only be able to win awards in two design categories and one photography/illustration category. The judges will decide which categories are most suited for each individual piece to win.
