Weekly Awards

Verified members and the MDX jury rate every entry from 1 to 10 on each of its category's criteria. A vote is worth ten times its average rating, so scores read as points out of 100.

Every entry starts from the same score, and each vote pulls it toward its true score, so a few friendly votes can't fake a win. Members and the jury each carry a fixed share of the score, set for each window when its voting opens.

To place, an entry needs enough jury votes and a minimum score. Ties go to the higher jury score, then the higher members' score; if both match, the place is shared.

While voting runs, the board shows rank and points only. Each ballot is public on the entry's page as it's cast: who voted, jury or member, and their rating on each criterion. The members and jury split and each criterion's scores come with the results. A vote is final once cast, and likes never count.
