How it works

Authenticity & Attention to Detail

Authenticity & Attention to Detail

Judges will look for displays that demonstrate exceptional historical accuracy — from uniforms and equipment to props and presentation. Every element should reflect genuine effort to bring history to life.
Presentation & Engagement

Presentation & Engagement

Displays should be well-presented, visually appealing, and engaging to the public. Judges will note how effectively participants interact with visitors and convey their story or theme.
Originality & Creativity

Originality & Creativity

Credit will be given for unique concepts, rare portrayals, or innovative approaches that stand out from the crowd while maintaining historical respect.
Overall Impact & Atmosphere

Overall Impact & Atmosphere

The overall impression of the display — including teamwork, immersion, and the experience it provides to visitors — will be a key deciding factor.

All judging is carried out anonymously. Scores and feedback are impartial and based solely on the criteria above.
