Each distinct work earns its highest award once per competition. A series counts as one work. Equal points use award countback; identical countback shares a rank. Everyone tied at the cutoff is included.
Search retains ranks within the selected standings. Award points are separate from judging scores and photographer titles. Acceptance details remain private.
