For all categories, there will be a maximum of four awards (assuming no ties): gold, silver, bronze and honorable mention. Entries must meet the minimum score criteria to earn each level of award. Gold will be awarded to the highest average scorer, silver for the second highest and so on. If the scoring for a category is low and no entry scores high enough to be eligible for a gold, then there will be no gold awarded.
