JUDGING
Each image entry is judged individually. The judges’ scores are not cumulative per application, but reflect their decisions per individual image entry. Images are judged on the following:

• Technical excellence, both in surface design and form

• Market viability(professional division)

• A distinct quality of unique, original and creative thought

Decisions of the judges will be final. Notifications will be sent in November/December 2008. Winners will be announced at the NICHE Awards ceremony during the February 2009 Philadelphia Buyers Market of American Craft.
