Judging Process

1. Judge Selection:
The judging panel consists of various official team members, ensuring professional and diverse perspectives.
2. Judging Process:
● Review Process: The selection process includes three stages: Preliminary Review, Secondary Review, and Award Selection. 1) Preliminary Review: Submissions are screened to ensure they meet the requirements. 2) Secondary Review: A shortlist is created based on the submission requirements. 3) Award Selection: Shortlisted creations will be voted on in-game, and the judges will select the final award winners. ● AI Content Review: To uphold the principles of fairness and originality in the contest, PDP has specially formed a dedicated review team comprising senior PDP designers and the official art team. This team will conduct comprehensive AI-generated content screening for all submitted entries. If an entry is found to have violated the AI usage rules at any stage of the review process, it will be immediately disqualified by the organizing committee. Creators who commit serious violations will be permanently disqualified from participating in PDP contests. ● Popularity Award Selection: Winners will be determined through in-game player voting. To ensure fairness, the official team will strictly screen voting data and confirm the final results after removing illegitimate votes. Participants will be disqualified if vote-rigging or other violations are discovered. ● Result Notification: After your creation passes the preliminary/secondary review, the results will be announced via: 1) In-game mail; 2) In-game Co-Create Space Creation Center notification; 3) Official Discord contest server announcement.
3. Judging Criteria:
● Creativity: The creation's content must be unique, with a distinctive design idea that significantly differs from previous Home object designs. Avoid excessive special effects rendering; focus on showcasing the creation's creativity and design, with novel concepts that break conventions. ● Quality: The design is high quality, featuring smooth clean lines and complementary colors. It also fits the theme and vibe, using color contrast and layering to highlight the design focus. ● Integration Value: The entry should take into account the actual presentation in the game, such as proportions and other aspects. It should also be appealing to other PUBG MOBILE players. ● Brand Aesthetic: The entry's aesthetics and expressive ideas fit in well with PUBG MOBILE, ensuring consistency with the game's overall style.
