JUDGING: A panel of judges, chosen by Sponsor, will judge the entries based on the following criteria:

• Storytelling. The photo should tell a story relevant to the high school, junior high or middle school experience.
• Quality. Photos should lack problems with exposure, sharpness or noise.
• Showstoppers. Judges will be stopped by powerful images. Look for pictures with good actions, reactions and emotions, interesting lighting, peak action, unusual and different situations and storytelling moments.
• Originality. Photos that are only slightly different from previous winners may not be chosen.
• Thoughtfulness. Sending multiple copies of the same image or similar images is not a successful technique. Send us your single best image of a subject. Crop your photo for maximum impact before submitting.
