JUDGING

THE NEW VOTE OF THE CREWS (70%)

Marked on this jury sheet are various criteria which make out a good wall production, a throw-up, a sketch or a tag – swing, legibility, originality, composition, concept and static. Numerous giants of the scene influenced and determined the weighting and the guide lines of those criteria, which did prove worthwhile in 2006. Surely one could always supplement something or change the weighting.

Every Crew send after the competition 1 member to judge the other crews. We hand out that member the jury sheet and he got 45 minutes to judge the competitors!

THE VOTE OF THE JUDGE (20%)

First of all a jury member has to be in a position to estimate a lot of different criteria. Of course not every jury member knows everything, but we claim to be open minded and willing to learn new things without forgetting the foundations. Open your eyes for developements and innovations in Writing. The Jury Member will be mostly a international Writer.

THE VOTE OF THE ORGANISATION (10%)

There are different criteria which will be voted from the judges and the crews for each criterio each judge, each crew has to give points from 1 to 5. As more points the judge and the crews are giving to a crew as better the crew will stand in the ranking list. The evaluation will be summarized according to priorities. Every single category has a separate evaluation system and rules. There is a formula on the jury sheet to analyse the judgements. After all judgements are made, those data are entered in a computer program, and added or rather defined with the weighting.
