The 4 criteria have different importance and thus the rating will be calculated like this:

• Use of V7 Features * 3
• Visual Style * 3
• Code Quality * 2
• Creativity * 2

You can score up to 10 points per criterion. These points will be distributed by a number of judges: The PHPFusion Management Team, PHPFusion Team Leaders and Andrew Gai of Netriox/Forge Hosting. Additionally, the community will also have the possibility to vote for the themes as it is the foundation of PHPFusion. The percentage of votes will also influence the final result, which will be calculated in this way:

A community poll will be created on the theme site with the top 10 finalists and will allow 1 vote per user. A page with screenshots will be posted for the community to review each theme and there will also be a possibility to preview the themes directly on the themes site.

Each judge will rate your theme according to the four rating criteria. The average of their individual rating sums will be split in two halves. One half will be multiplied by the percentage of votes the theme got and added to the other half.

The Rating formula looks like this then:

Average Rating = (Rating MT + Rating TLs + Rating Netriox)/3
Total Points = 0.5 * (Average Rating) + 0.5 * (Average Rating * Percentage of Votes)
