THE TOM
OF FINLAND GRAND PRIZE AWARD
The real
prize awarded all participants of ToFF's 2014 E. A. C. is the
publicity, exposure and international recognition accorded them
through the Foundation’s promotion of the Competition.
The winners
are determined using a “blind” scoring process by a distinguished
panel of eight judges who are announced after the competition winners
have been determined. The judges are selected from an international
roster of individuals in the field of the arts.
Judges score
each work on a scale of 1 to 10. Scores are tabulated and the works
with highest point totals become the winners.
