02　Judging Criteria

［ Judging Procedures ］
〈 Grand Prix / Bridgestone Award / Supporters Award 〉
The judging will take various factors into account, such as:
  • Has Kawasaki’s spirit of challenge been captured?
  • Does the poster have originality?
  • It is imbued with creativity?
  • Number of voting points acquired
The most outstanding poster will be selected as the winner of the “Grand Prix” and two runners-up will be selected as the recipients of the “Bridgestone Award.”
A “Supporters Award” will also be presented for the poster that acquires the most points in the vote by the general public.
〈 Voter’s Participation Award 〉
A lottery will also be held in tandem with the final judging of the Grand Prix to determine 35 prize winners from the voters who cast a vote for their favourite poster. Selection of the prize winners of the Voter’s Participation Award will in no way be influenced by the results of the poster judging, and the probability of winning a prize will not rise depending on which poster you vote for.
