Awards

How the awards work

Awards are decided at different levels of judging. Each group below says how far its awards reach — the whole show, a single category or a class of entrants — and an entry can win at more than one level. Where awards are listed as "any one of the following" they are alternatives: an entry receives at most one of them.
