How are Demo Compos judged?
Good question. First, a point system has to be agreed on. There are many ways of doing this; for example, at NAID’95, each demo was given up to 5 points for graphics, programming, music, and overall design. In this case, the demo with the highest total point value won, the 2nd higest came in 2nd, etc. Second, if there are way too many entries, all entries go through a preselection process, where an informal vote disqualifies substandard entries. (This step only applys to compos with a judging panel; see below.
