    Judging Criteria
    Creativity is the original, fresh, and external expression of the imagination of the maker
    by using the medium to convey an idea, message or thought. Compelling Essay's evoke
    laughter, sadness, anger, pride, wonder or another intense emotion. The use and
    control of light to create dimension, shape and roundness in an image or the way the
    creator uses words to express thoughts and emotions can be considered.
    Storytelling refers to the Essay's ability to evoke imagination, create a feeling, tell a
    story, or visually illustrate an idea. The images should tell the story in a visual way
    creating interest by capturing the moment. Images can better illustrate the story and
    keep the viewers interest with variety, angles, lighting, color, etc..
    Writing should be creative using proper technique and mechanics. The writing should
    evoke the emotion and wonder of the reader leaving them to want more by the time they
    reach the end. Does the story have a conflict, a climax, and an end?
    Photography includes impact, creativity, technical excellence, composition, lighting,
    style, color and story telling. The photos should provide variety, interesting angles,
    imagination, and properly illustrate the story being told.
