Navigation: Each page has three light blue arrow buttons at the bottom. There are a total of 28 cartoon entires. The LEFT button will load the previous image, and the RIGHT button will load the next page. On page one, LEFT will load the last page, and on Page 28, the RIGHT button will load the first page. The CENTER or "up" arrow will return you to this page. Judging: The work is judged in these three categories: 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 will be added up, and the cartoons with the highest numbers will be declared the winners. In the case of ties, the People's Choice numbers will be 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, in the case of tie votes, the Peoples Choice votes will be used to break the tie. Winners will be announced Sunday afternoon at the festival, and announced online at the "Homer Page." | |||||||||||
