All images are judged in the same way. It's an important process, as each image must be judged in a professional manner. When the winners are announced it's needed to feel confident that the process has been fair and taken seriously. The winners in each category have received the highest cumulative score throughout the judging rounds, and the overall winner is the image with the highest score out of the four main categories: Classic View, Black and White, Your View, and Urban Life.
