Will the results be out after the judging process?

Or will the process only pick out the shortlisted ones?
 

I want to be there when they gloss over my entries and put it in the bin!
 

how does one observe the judging?

Well open judging allows one to observe the process and make sure the process is fair and the results are not "fixed".

a few things you can do during a open judging:
1)if you or yr friends have submitted , then you can make sure the entries are judged and not miss out.

2)try to understand the process. There maybe a few round of selections til they choose the finalists.

3)check out the judges, they should be entering scores (if that is the process) onto the score sheets. Score sheets are empty before the judging process start.

4)see and learn from the entries that have high scores

5)in some judging sessions, judges will give their comments at the end of the judging and invite questions from the observers.

Good luck and have fun!:)

judging is always very subjective like those of diving and gymnast, that's why sometimes is to study the judges before the competition to get into his books indirectly.haha

anyway nice points mentioned! its always good to learn from the better photos :D
