Judging Criteria & Process

All eligible entries will be evaluated by an internal panel of judges from xTool based on the following criteria. The weighting of each criterion will be determined at the sole discretion of the judging panel.

• Relevance to Theme: The extent to which the submission aligns with, interprets, and conveys the core theme of "Made to Empower."
• Creativity & Originality: The novelty of the idea, uniqueness of the concept, and artistic expression of the submission.
• Storytelling & Emotional Impact: The appeal and coherence of the story being told and its ability to evoke an emotional response from the audience.
• Quality of Submission: The visual clarity, technical skill (e.g., filming, editing, composition), and overall production value of the submitted content.
• Community Engagement: The judging panel will assess the organic and authentic interaction a submission inspires within the community. This criterion considers the quality of engagement over sheer quantity. Submissions that effectively encourage others to voluntarily share (e.g., sharing to a personal Story), spark genuine discussion in the comments, or tag (@) friends to view the content may be viewed as having higher community engagement.
