Winner selection  

The winners will be selected by a jury appointed by LEWITT. They will judge the entries on visual appeal, aesthetics, comedy, and content.

In the second judging round, the jury will judge entrants from the group of 10 best entries and give 10 points to the best comic strip, 9 points to the second best, 8 to the third best,...  To guarantee objectivity while choosing the winners, all points from the 3 judges will get summarized to find out which entry has the highest score.

Final decision. All grading decisions are final.  

Once the grading of the entries is completed, LEWITT will notify the winners via Instagram direct message sent to the Instagram profile that the entry was submitted through.
