Each year we select a group of jurors from Door 2 staff and non-staff artist professionals who are prominent in the Door 2 community, with the goal of constructing a panel of experts in a wide variety of art specializations and media. 

 

The judges score each piece from a rubric which includes categories for scoring in craftsmanship, composition, creativity / originality, storytelling / conceptual depth, complexity / difficulty, and overall impact  

 

The panel’s intentional diversity of artistic specialization is done in an effort to provide a wide array of experts, available to give insight to other jurors should they have a technique or craftmanship question regarding a piece made from a medium with which they are less familiar.  The judges’ scores are then compiled together, and awards are given to the highest combined scores in each category. Each individual artist is limited to two pieces, of which, only one may win an award. The jurors and their family members are not eligible to submit for judging.
