Evaluation criteria
A weekly prize will be awarded to winning artworks based on the evaluation of the judging panel as well as the volume of interaction of entries posted within that week. If your child submits an artwork to the contest early, that artwork will have more chances to receive the weekly prize. Entries that were winners in a previous week cannot be considered for competition during the following weeks.
All entries have a chance to be considered for the top 20 and compete for the top four prizes.
Criteria for evaluation: The artworks will be evaluated on theme, message, creativity, artistic value and how meaningfully the work is described. All results will also be based on a consideration of the various ages of the children.
