(Note: Points will be awarded to all original works that meet the contest theme after the evaluation is complete.)

Professional Awards (1st, 2nd, 3rd Place, and Excellent Work Award)
These awards will be determined entirely by the professional judging panel based on the evaluation criteria. (The panel consists of three members—two top designers and one official MakeRoad designer. Note: Judges cannot participate in the competition.)

The professional judging panel will score based on the following dimensions (out of 100 points):

1.Aesthetics & Visual Presentation (35%)
● Lighting, Shadow & Surface Finish (Does the model fully showcase the smooth texture and glossy finish of Silk PLA? Does it create layered visual effects when viewed from different angles?)
● Form & Shape Aesthetics (Does the model have strong visual appeal and artistic expression? Are the curves smooth and natural? Are the overall proportions balanced? Are the details refined and well-finished?)
● Color Usage & Combination (Are the color combinations harmonious or visually striking? Is the gradient effect creatively designed? Do the chosen colors match the model’s theme?)

2.Innovation & Design (25%)
● Overall Design Concept (Does the work present a clear theme or design philosophy? Does it achieve a balance between aesthetics, functionality, and technical execution?)
● Creative Originality (Is the concept unique and innovative? Does it feature memorable design ideas? Does it demonstrate a distinctive creative perspective?)
● Structural Innovation (For example, does the structure creatively enhance Silk PLA’s reflective and glossy visual effects?)

3.Functionality & Scene Compatibility (20%)
● Scene Suitability (Is the model suitable for its intended use scenario, such as home décor, desktop ornaments, holiday gifts, lampshades/lamp bases, jewelry boxes, vases, storage containers, etc.?)
● Basic Practicality (Does the model fulfill its intended basic function? For example, can a vase hold water and flowers, can a lampshade fit a standard lamp base, or can a storage container effectively store items?)

4.Printability & Model Quality (20%)
● Structural Reasonability (Does the model avoid excessive supports, long overhangs, or overly thin structures?)
● Print Success Rate (Can the model be printed reliably under reasonable print settings? Is it resistant to layer separation or part breakage issues?)
● File Presentation & Documentation (Does the submission include clear instructions, assembly guides, or display recommendations? Are the cover images and showcase videos high quality?)

• All professional award results will be announced for a 7-day public review in the corresponding contest group/channel after the judges' evaluation. During this period, if you have any objection to the results, you may leave your comments or suggestions in the comment section of the relevant post.

  The public review period for the competition awards is from June 30, 2026 to July 6, 2026.
