Scoring System – 100 Points Total

20 Attracts Attention: Use of color, motion, light, figures. While attention getting is important, the reaction should be favorable. Unfavorable attention defeats its purpose. 
10 Arouses Interest: Encourages additional study. Personal appeal to the type of viewer for whom the exhibit was designed.
30 Conveys Message: The message should be understood by the viewer for whom the exhibit was intended.
20 Design: Elements of the exhibit should be pleasingly placed to give a sense of unity to the whole. The message should be a part of the design and not something apparently added as an afterthought. Simplicity is the key here.
10 Workmanship: Neat, well constructed; does not imply that expensive materials be used.
10 Originality.
