Group 1 judging criteria

Projects are not judged against other entries; they are judged on how well they meet the following judging criteria. Awards are determined based on a 100-point scoring system, using the following metric:

Judging criteria #1

Overall appearance, including design (unity/scale/functionality/plant choices) - 25%

Judging criteria #2

Degree of difficulty (challenges and how they were overcome) - 25%

Judging criteria #3

Quality of plant material (healthy, planted properly, right plant/right place) - 25%

Judging criteria #4

Goals/objectives clearly defined and successfully achieved - 25%

Earth Aware honor

Complete only if you wish to have these additional criteria considered for a potential Earth Aware honor. If the project does not receive an Earth Aware honor, it will not be eliminated - it will be reviewed as a traditional entry.
Check all that apply to this project:
