How is this one gonna be judged?

How is this one gonna be judged?

All entries will be entered into a spreadsheet like this:

When judging starts, columns B & D are hidden, then one at a time, a panel of 5-15 judges will score the photo 1-10, 10 being best. Once the judge finishes, they hide their column so that other judges aren't influenced by their scores.

Does that answer your question?
