Entries will be judged on quality, creativity, impact on high school and originality. From there, the top 50 favorites will move on to the voting stage. Fans can vote once daily, starting Sept. 16, for their favorite entry. The grand prize winner will be awarded to the entrant that receives the highest number of votes for their school.
