THE FULL TRANSPARENCY (Again…)

1. From the 1576 works received at first, 578 selected were exhibited on the gallery Urziceni 2015. This first trial was performed by Julian PENA-Pai and Horia CRISAN.
2. We announced the jury composition, most of the jurors being cartoonists:

Constantin Pavel, Romania, cartoonist, jury member
Liviu Stanila, Romania, cartoonist, jury member
Horia Crisan, Romanian, cartoonist, jury member
They worked at home, no meetings or discussions among them, so they have made
their own choice and only by personal opinion.
3. Initially, each juror has the right to choose as many works he considered good, among the 578 from the public gallery. After putting together all those options, we obtained the first 162 pre selected for awards discussion.
4. From the 162 cartoons, each jury member has to select, in two rounds, his top 20 and top 15 drawings, independently, each work receiving 1 vote (1 point). And the result was a restraint gallery of 35 finalists .
5. Those finalists were presented to the public on BestCARTOONS.net and cartoonists of the world were invited to give their opinions about it, in a 3 days time, concerning possible fraud, plagiarism and/or similarities.
6. We have not received works with similarity problems.
7. The way of voting of each jury member is presented in this table.
8. The prize giving criterias are explained on the ''L'' column of our table of contents .
