1. The Principle and Elements of Design: Does the piece illustrate effective use of colour, harmony,
balance, etc? Are all design elements in synchronize?
2. Proportion & Scale: Is each component of the design in proportion to all other components relative
to the overall design concept?
3. Construction and Mechanics: are the framework and all design components durable and stable? If
illusions are involved, viewers should be moved to ask”How did they do that?”
4. Originality of Uniqueness: does the design convey a sense of freshness, newness of style, or a
concept created along new or unconventional lines? Creative expression is necessarily practical or
easily reproduced.
5. Overall Composition: Does the piece elicit positive response?
6. Attention to Detail: Are all mechanics hidden?
7. Adherence to all Rules, Regulations & Guidelines: This includes time deadlines for construction of
entries, completion of Entry Forms, and Cost cards, Preconstruction Guidelines, dimension
