How Digital Art Was Judged

Each submission was carefully reviewed by our panel of judges using four key criteria:

• Creativity and originality: Does the piece reflect a fresh idea or unique artistic voice?
• Technical proficiency with digital tools: How effectively did the artist use digital software and techniques?
• Composition and visual impact: Do the elements work together to create a strong and engaging design?
• Innovation and use of digital techniques: Does the piece push creative boundaries or explore new possibilities in digital art?
