JUDGING: Entries will be judged by a panel consisting of product management, engineering, and marketing employees of SolidWorks Corporation, contest Prize Sponsors, and selected VARs.  Winning entries will be chosen on the basis of technical skill (complexity, interaction of parts), aesthetic merit (visual clarity, form), level of innovation, and broad use of SolidWorks products and services.
