Scoring

A panel of John Ascuaga’s Nugget
judges will choose the finalists in each category based on artistry and how they
capture the essence of Star Spangled Sparks. We'll post the finalists on
janugget.com by July 15th for public voting. The photo with the highest average
score in each category wins.
How
do I give out scores?
Go to
www.janugget.com/photocontest/ Choose a score of 1 to 10 (10 highest, down to 1
lowest) and click the VOTE button. Note that you score each photo independently;
don't rank them from 1st to 10th. Please limit your votes to one vote per photo,
per valid e-mail address.
Are
there suggestions for how to score photos?
No. You can
use any scoring system you like, as long as you're consistent.

to each photo?
No, please score each photo only once. A

Can I score photos from friends and
family?
Yes, but be fair to all of the photos you score.
Don't just score a photo highly because you know who took it.
Do I have to score all of the
finalists?
No, you don't have to score all of the
finalists, but if you score a photo in a category, please try to give a score to
all other photos in that category.
Do I have to enter a photo to score
photos?
No.
