Q:  How do the Urban 15 judges score the contestants?

A:  The judges award a score of 0 to10 for each of 3 attributes for each contestant.

The attributes are:

Originality/Adaptation: is this the most original concept the judges and audience have seen, or the best adaptation of a known concept? 

Composition: did someone go out and buy this, or did the contestant spend hours gluing, sewing, welding, etc.  Is this a labor of love or dollars? 

Presentation: does the contestant stay in character (or do something completely out of character) that grabs the audience?  For example, two contestants in historically correct medieval attire slowly crossed the floor while giving the royal wave and nod to their subjects – and we all like to feel their subjects; Note to contestants: get into character and stay there, or find a way to exploit or turn your character into the unexpected – grab the audience – humor helps.
