The Judging Process
A panel of unbiased judges, from the corporate management team, will select all winners. Each judge will score each contestant on a 100-point scale based on 50% from the essay and 50% from the "before" and "after" photos. The scores will be tabulated to give each contestant a cumulative score from each judge. The scores of these judges will then be combined to give each contestant a final score, which will be used to determine the winners in each category. The winners will be the individuals with the highest cumulative score within each category. The decision of the judges is final.
