ENTERING: After reviewing the Entry Criteria, visit Judging Hub to complete your submissions. Here you will upload your statements, photos, etc. We recommend gathering all your information and materials, then starting your submissions. *This is the only way to upload your entry materials; emails will not be accepted.* You'll need to complete a submission form for each category you enter. 

JUDGING: Entries are compiled and sent to judges outside of the Greater Toledo market. Should the situation occur where there is only one entry in a category, 70% of the points available for that category would qualify as a winning entry without competition. The HBA reserves the right to eliminate any category due to insufficient entries or where the quality of work does not warrant a winner. The HBA also reserves the right to combine or expand categories based on number of entries received.
