And the Judges Are...
Judges will be distinguished members of another AMA chapter. Evaluation will use a predetermined point system, with a set minimum point requirement for each award level.

If no entries meet the set minimum point requirement in a category, no award will be given for that category. The entry with the highest score within each category will be awarded the Pinnacle.

In the event of a tie, the designated judging captain will select a winner. Award categories are:

Pinnacle
Platinum Awards of Merit
Gold Awards of Merit

Pinnacle statues will be awarded to Pinnacle winners. Awards of merit and students will receive framed certificates.

Best of Show Award
The Best of Show is awarded to the Pinnacle recipient receiving the most points in any one given category.

Winner Notification
All Winners will be notified prior to the Pinnacle Awards Dinner on Thursday, April 29, 2010.

Entries will be available for pick up at the Awards dinner. If entries are not picked up at the dinner, they will be thrown away unless specific arrangements are made in advance.
