Will jurors assess the complete work or just the technical statement? How is the decision made?

Question

Accepted Answer

Eligibility and material checks precede professional evaluation. A works panel evaluates the Grand Prix and three expression awards; a creative-achievements panel evaluates the three Silver awards. Jurors view or experience the complete object and examine the evidence needed for its claims.

Five descriptive levels organise observations, reasons and outstanding questions. They are not mechanically added or subjected to undisclosed weights. Deliberation and voting follow the rules. Each award has at most one recipient object and may remain vacant; joint contributors can share credit.

The Grand Prix requires at least five conflict-free jurors who have completed the review and support from at least two thirds. Other awards require at least three jurors and a majority. Qualified substitutes complete the review if recusals reduce the quorum. Public award announcements include publishable jury reasons.
