Judging Rubric
Comparison to Gallery (1-20) : Score should be higher the more positive consistencies and differences there are. These are judged against the artists gallery. Techniques (such as brushes, fur, anatomy, style, etc), as well as, composition (creativity of pose, style, dog, background, etc) will also be judged on positive consistencies and differences. If an entry is commissioned, the entry will be judged against the gallery of the artist that made the piece, NOT the owner of the dog.
Breed Standard (1-5): CONFORMATION ONLY. How correct the dog is to the written standard for their breed in color, conformation, gait, etc.
Color Club Conformation Score (1-6): CONFORMATION ONLY; If applicable. How correct the dog is to the written standard for their breed in conformation, gait, minus color. (Color Club Conformation class only).
Word Count (0-3) : +1 for every 100 words up to 3 points (300/three hundred)
Show Accuracy (0-10) : How accurately the artist depicts the show and setting.
Artistic Appeal (0-10): This category takes into consideration color use, general appeal, composition, shading, perspective, an obvious light source, and general creativity. A carefully planned and executed piece that doesn't appear sloppy or rushed that may or may not use complex poses, etc will receive a higher score.
Handler/Judge Depicted (0-5): 0 points for neither shown. +3 for a half-body depiction. 5 points for full body.
**Advertisement (0-2):**2 points for advertising the show in a journal, status update, or poll. (Linking the show in an entry deviation does NOT count)
--------------------------------------
