1. Artistic Skill: What is the technical skill of the artist's work? 2. Implied Message: Was the message of the cartoon clear and obvious? 3. Over-All Appeal: Was the cartoon effective? Scoring: The cartoon's subject should represent a contemporary political, economic and(or) social idea of interest—an "Editorial Cartoon." In each of the three categories, a number from 1 to 5 was determined by our judges, with 1 being lowest and 5 being highest. These numbers were all added up, and the cartoons with the highest numbers were declared the winners. In the case of tie votes, the People's Choice numbers are added to the mix to determine a winner at each level. Awards: There were four total awards determined by the judges. The five People's Choice awards were determined by Festival atrtendees, who cast votes for their five favorite cartoons. Additionally, due to the fact that the First, Second and Third Place choices of Judged winners were tie votes, the Peoples Choice votes were used to break the tie.
