All projects undergo Preliminary Judging, and shortlisted projects proceed to Final Judging.
Preliminary Judging and Final Judging are conducted independently, with no carry-over of the scores from Preliminary Judging to Final Judging.
Judges for Final Judging and Preliminary Judging are allocated randomly (according to category), and in general, judges allocated for preliminary judging would not be the same judges for final judging.
Judges for Final Judging assess the project holistically. Judges will have access to the project report, but will also make their judgement based on the poster, oral presentation and interview.
SSEF projects are scored according to the following criteria. See below for the detailed rubrics.
In addition to project awards, Special Awards are awarded by sponsoring organisations. Judging is conducted by each special award organisation, according to judging criteria specific to each award.Â
