The criteria for judging were based on the following: 40% on creativity, 30% on originality, and 30% on relevance to the theme. The top three winners were chosen from a pool of 28 finalists (three finalists were selected by each of the nine host schools) by a panel of judges: Mr. Joseph F. Galian (Faculty of College of Saint Benilde-School of Design and Arts, Faculty of UP Diliman-College of Fine Arts, and Art Director & Photo Director-(Digital Head Quarters) DHQ Studio), Dr. Armando Guidote (Licensed Chemist, Associate Dean for Research and Creative Work-Ateneo de Manila University, and President of PFCS), and Dr. Jaime Janairo (Licensed Chemist, Faculty and Graduate School Coordinator- Department of Chemistry, De La Salle University-Manila).
As part of the awarding ceremonies, the event will be held during the 28th Philippine Chemistry Congress in Silliman University, Dumaguete. The winning posters will be exhibited during the Congress and the 1st place winner (Ms. Isabelle Manto), together with her coach will receive free accommodations and round trip airfare ticket to Dumaguete.
Congratulations and see you there!
