Publications are judged in a “head-to-head comparison by a panel of judges over several days,” Edmund Sullivan, CSPA executive director, said. The judges meet “in a large room with much walking around and much discussion, sometimes an argument. However, all decisions are eventually reached through consensus,” Sullivan said. Crowns are awarded at the discretion of this group based on the merits of the publications according to Sullivan.
