- Judging rubric · public · scored 0–10

What the jury actually scores.

Rubric, math, and jurors are published. If a piece wins, you can trace exactly why.

- 0115%

User Experience & Strategy

Intentional journeys that earn the visitor's time. Strategy must be visible in the design, not assumed.

- 0215%

Visual Design & Branding

Visuals that feel both original and unmistakably on brand. Decorative competence is not enough.

- 0310%

Content & Storytelling

Messaging that communicates value quickly and rewards deeper exploration. Words count as much as pixels.

- 0410%

Accessibility & Inclusivity

Inclusive practices that serve diverse needs. Baseline compliance is the floor, not the ceiling.

- 0520%

Performance & Technical Implementation

Engineering that makes the experience feel immediate, stable, and trustworthy. Heavy sites do not win.

- 0610%

Responsiveness & Multi-device Support

Layouts that adapt fluidly across breakpoints and input modes - not just a mobile fallback of the desktop view.

- 0720%

Innovation & Future Readiness

Work that pushes the medium forward - original concepts, responsible use of new technology, durable thinking.

- Your turn

Think your site would score well?

Put it in front of the jury: the same seven criteria, the same weights, and a published score out of 10.
