Before judging begins, every judge completes Budist’s judge training and is required to follow the competition’s standardized methodology, scoring rubric, evaluation criteria, judging protocols, and official devices throughout the competition. By ensuring every judge follows the same standards, products are evaluated objectively and consistently, regardless of category or state.
The judging window goes from November 1st to 19th, with the medalists announced the week of November 23rd, and Trophy winners announced at MJBizCon on December 4th.
