Hello! The rough judging criteria is as follows:
Art: Illustrative works; detail-oriented, composition, colors, patterns, etc., with a focus on unique and unconventional styles.
Merch: Colours, composition and if the style fits merch items, particularly Mononoke-themed merch.
Writing: Characterization, plot, syntax, prose, and writing style.
Alternative content creators: Quality of work, suitability of the work for the zine. There is no specific grading criteria for this category of creators due to the wide variety of works we will be allowing applications for.

We hope that answers your question!
