The judging criterion was based on a thorough and objective evaluation of each piece. The judge prioritized the visual impact of the artwork and selected works that made a strong impression. He then focused on composition and design, evaluating the arrangement of shapes and colors. Technical aspects such as drawing, use of depth, edge manipulation, and surface texture were also considered. Finally, the presentation was considered, with emphasis on the quality of the photograph. The judge brings valuable personal experience to his approach, having been judged in shows. He consciously tries to be impartial and objective in his evaluations, prioritizing the criteria of visual impact, composition, design, technical aspects, and presentation.
