a. Pass/Fail Review. Complete applications will be provided to the Selection Panel for evaluation based on artwork selection criteria, and be assigned either a pass or fail rating. Those applications that receive a pass rating by the majority of the Selection Panel will then be scored and ranked by the Selection Panel.
b. Ranking. For each application that receives a pass rating, each criteria will be scored and when the scores awarded for all criteria are totaled, the scores will be tabulated and added to achieve the total points awarded to each Artist by each Selection Panel member. Using the total points awarded to each Artist, each Artist will be ranked by each Selection Panel member with the highest point total ranked 1, the next highest point total ranked 2, etc. The ranking of each Artist will be tabulated from each Selection Panel member and combined with other Selection Panel members to determine the total ranking score for the Artist, with the lowest point total ranked 1, the next lowest point total ranked 2, etc. These rankings will then be used by the Selection Panel to select up to fifteen (15) Artists. Should the ranking result in a tie, then the Selection Panel shall select the Artist with the most first place votes; if there is still a tie, then the Artist with the most second place votes, etc. until the selection list consists of just fifteen (15) artworks.
