10. Judging process: Winners of the competition will be selected in two steps:

Step 1: Top 50 participants qualify

This phase will involve a pre-screening by LOGI members to ensure only high-quality submissions and no plagiarism. Once a piece of art is admitted in the competition, Facebook users will submit their votes in the form of "likes" on LOGI's Facebook page. Only likes on the art published on LOGI's Facebook page will be considered, and not the likes on the candidates personal Facebook pages.

Step 2: Final winners selected by jury members

A board formed of 5 jury members will pick 6 winners from the Top 50 submissions selected in Step 1. They will use the assessment criteria below.

11. Assessment Criteria: art forms will be assessed based on four criteria:

• Concept
• Content
• Creativity
• Presentation

• Winners of 1st Place receive an amount of 500$
• Winners of 2nd Place receive an amount of 300$
• Winners of 3rd Place receive an amount of 200$
