The Podium

Meet the 2026 judging panel

18 Aug 2026 · 1 min read

Every entry submitted this season is scored independently by three judges, each awarding up to ten points for Technique, Composition and Image.

How the score works

That gives a maximum of thirty points per judge and ninety overall. The qualification score for 2026 is eighty-four out of ninety.

Reaching that score marks a piece as qualified. Team UK then confirms the final squad against the number of places each championship allows, so qualifying by score is a requirement for selection rather than a guarantee of it.
