Judging Criteria
​
-
At Invisible Mansion Pictures, we judge most art on the following three questions:
-
What is it trying to accomplish (ideas to generate, feelings to evoke, questions to ask)?​
-
Is it accomplishing what it set out to? How well?
-
Was it worth saying/doing in the first place?
-
​
