Each category has been designed to challenge both technical skill and artistic vision, giving competitors the chance to demonstrate their expertise before an audience of industry professionals.

Every application will be evaluated in real time, with judges scoring accuracy, styling, symmetry, cleanliness, technique, timing, and overall presentation.
