Full length videos will be available on the website to highlight winners in the weeks following the award ceremony.Prism Judging QuestionsAnswer the following questions. For more information read the Judging Criteria below. ***All entries submitted are judged by AMA Chapter Leaders not directly associated with the Lincoln chapter or its sponsors to ensure unbiased results. Judges will be aware of your company name. The number of points received determines Prism and Sterling winners. Each submission is judged by two judges on a points scale of 1-85. To secure a Prism win, the submission must receive a score higher than 65. To secure a Sterling win, the submission must receive a score higher than 55. Entries must receive a minimum number of points to qualify for a Prism award. Therefore, some categories may have a Sterling award winner and not a Prism award winner. There is one Prism Award winner and one Sterling Award winner per category/division.***1. THE CHALLENGE & OBJECTIVES: Define the problem to solve and objectives to meet. (10 Points)What was the core, basic problem the entry needed to solve or address? What was/were the objective(s) to address the situation or challenge? This should be a specific, quantifiable statement. Judges will score on how clearly the challenge is stated and whether the objectives are sound, clear and measurable. (2000 characters or less.)2. STRATEGY & TACTICS: Plan for achieving the goal. (25 Points)Describe the strategic process behind this project/initiative and what tactics or actions were taken to achieve the objectives.

(25 Points)What measurable results did this entry achieve? Did it achieve the entry’s objectives?
