THE JUDGING PROCESS
Entrants hereby acknowledge and agree that all Contest results are final. [AG]WPJA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to disqualify any entrant for any violation
of the Official Rules. [AG]WPJA and WPJA personnel have absolutely no input whatsoever in the judging process. All results are final. The following guidelines outline the Contest judging
procedures:
1. Image files will be received electronically via the [AG]WPJA’s online Contest upload system and renamed with special coded photographer numbers (for official use
only). This ensures anonymity and eliminates opportunity for bias, so judging will be based solely on the images themselves.
2. The judges will select twenty (20) images from each category and place them in ranked order within each category (number one being best). The judges will
also provide written comments on all twenty (20) images selected from each category. The judges’ selections shall be based on creativity, technical proficiency, composition, lighting,
and above all, the capturing of real moments as they occur.
