CICLOPE Asia’s judging process consists of two rounds. The first one is undertaken by the Jury, who watches and ranks the entries on CICLOPE’s online platform. The 5 (five) best-ranked entries in each category will be considered finalists.

In the second round of judging, the Jury personally discusses the finalist pieces on a Zoom meeting and awards the best work/s in each category. In a second video conference call, the Jury can also award a Grand Prix for the best work of the year in the competition.
