This Contest is a skill-based contest. Chance plays no role in determining the selection of finalists or the winner.

Finalists and the winner of the Contest will be selected by Booksy, or a judging panel designated by Booksy, based on predetermined evaluation criteria designed to ensure a fair, transparent, and goal-aligned selection process.

All eligible submissions will be reviewed and scored by a panel of Booksy representatives using a standardized 100-point scoring rubric. Submissions will be evaluated across weighted categories including: Story and Demonstrated Business Need (30 points); Impact and Feasibility of the proposed use of the $5,000 Re-Up funds (25 points); Effort and Engagement, including the quality and authenticity of submitted materials and photographs (20 points); Growth Mindset and Long-Term Business Vision (15 points); and Relevance to and Impact within the Orlando community (10 points). Each judge may assign scores in each category, and scores may be averaged to determine a final cumulative score for each eligible participant. Following this initial scoring round, the three (3) highest-scoring eligible participants will be selected as Finalists. Finalists will then be re-evaluated and re-scored using the same standardized 100-point rubric, and the Finalist with the highest cumulative score in the second round of judging will be selected as the one (1) Grand Prize Winner.

The full scoring rubric is available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1BdszuBsh6IExEduw88tOsdIQ0uUPFsssrBhYqT42spE/edit?tab=t.vhhuek91g7cu . All judging decisions are final and binding.
