Judging the BNB 2001 Entries

About the Judging
Meet the 2001 Judges

 

Judging for the 2001 competition was Saturday, May 12, 2001, from 9 AM until approximately 5 PM at the Ex'pression Center for New Media in Emeryville.

"New media" works are measured against standards that entrants define for themselves (in other words, what they hoped to accomplish), as well as against each other (the other entries in the category).

A jury of multimedia business and academic professionals review how clearly each entrant's work meets its specifically defined challenge, and then judge how well the entrant's content, creativity and technical expertise fulfill criteria of excellence.

There are two levels of judging, professional and student. (Students have to be full time, with no professional work experience in their entry category.) Within each level of judging, distinctions will be made. Factors, such as available resources, are taken into account -- e.g., team versus individual entries, independent versus larger corporate productions.

Thus, making these distinctions, there can be more than one winner in a single category. It is excellence that is being sought and rewarded. And therefore, conversely, if standards are not met in a category, no winner will be named.

The judges for this year's competition are again a distinguished group, recognized names in the industry as well as associates with proven areas of expertise. The following judges were recruited:
