Each judge viewed all 328 images entirely in one viewing, divided by category, separately and independently from the other judges, and rated each entry anonymously on its merit within its category with a score from 1-33 points. No judge had any influence upon another since they were scheduled at different times. Points were totaled after the final judging, determining standings, with 99 points as the highest possible score. Best of Show is the highest scoring print overall.
Chris Stieber of Churchville Nature Center chose the Director’s Award independently from any scoring. The Co-Chairs likewise selected the Chairmen’s, Ernie Volpe, Tony DiMattio, Creative Achievement and Special Recognition awards independently.
