Judging guidelines

1. all skill levels are welcome.
2. we will not be judging technical expertise but instead cartoon originality.
3. this is not a fine art competition this is a cartoon competition - that is not to say that a cartoon cannot demonstrate high levels of technical skill, but what is most important is its stylistic originality and the strength of its message.
4. cartoons can inspire all sorts of emotions from outrage to laughter, but do so because they have a narrative. The manner of presentation is simplified to where someone with zero background in either fine art or your subject matter can gather and take away your message: how will you do this with your cartoon?

For this second week, our judges will be Hive account@corpsvalues and Hive account@linnyplant
