What is the evaluation criteria?

In general, we value strong technical quality—focusing on rendering quality, details, textures, lighting, and overall presentation—along with creativity, including a unique visual style and an imaginative approach to architectural visualization, as well as visual coherence in how the surrounding environment and overall style complement the architecture; however, evaluation criteria may vary depending on the specific challenge.
