Judging Criteria

1. For the Meme Genius category, we will be looking for:

• Creativity and thinking outside the box: how creative you, the artist, are in reinterpreting and recreating the meme
• Animation Technique: animation technique and skills; for example, the use of the 12 animation principles, time control, and smoothness. 
• Aesthetics: the visual arts; for example, knowledge and skill in character design, colors, and drawing skills.

2. The Audience Choice picks will be a popularity vote. We will host a poll on Instagram when the contest is closed; submissions that acquire the highest votes will be the winner. 

3. For the Staff Pick, we will invite our very own Kdan Mobile Development Team to cast the vote. Submissions with the highest number of votes will win this category.
