Up to three winners per category are possible based on the judging criteria of each category and based on the cumulative scores from two independent judges. In many cases, the winners are only one point apart and are shown in order below, when applicable. Categories with one winner do not indicate they were the only entry in that category. If competing entries did not meet the minimum accumulative judging score, they were unable to be included as a potential finalist.
