Experts in the fields of communications and graphic design will judge the entries on the basis of general appeal and overall quality (including display boards); content and message; originality of approach; statement of objectives; and final results.

Judges will award winning entries in individual classes and categories. Honorable mentions may also be bestowed.

A crystal Genius award will be conferred to the best entry in each class. Winners will be honored during Staffing World 2018, Oct. 16–18, in metro Washington, DC, and will be featured in ASA publications, on the ASA website, and via news media outreach initiatives, as well as available social media channels.

The judges may transfer an entry from the category in which it was entered to a more appropriate category upon their discretion.

Judges may also elect not to issue awards if no entry in an individual category merits recognition, or if no entry in a class division qualifies for the best-entry-in-class honor.
