I hope to see more entries for this week's contest! # Judging # Well see where we are now, round 10th!! As mentioned before, this is a special collaborated contest between #steemit-webcomics and #teamgirlpowa. For this round we have multiple judges: @limabeing, @didic and @corinneiskorean. We've been discussing and planning how to judge this particular contest since not only the funny aspect is important, but also communicating feminism ideas to everyone. Saying this, here's what will be considered for judging: * Funniness - Humor will be judged by feminists and is subjective but will be weighted as the key element * Badass/girlpowaness -Your hero must have the rebel spirit to fight patriarchy be it physical, mental, or emotional strength * Uniqueness - Rating of how new old or widely used the punchline is * Cleverness - Intelligience quotient won’t break you or make you but it will definitely help * Bonus points for intersectionality - person of color, differently abled, lgbtqi , class-distinctions etc. Remember, we're not looking for great artists or pro comic makers, we're looking for people to try to make comics and communicate gender equality and feminism ideology while having fun at it. However, is **VERY IMPORTANT** to remember to be respectful and tolerant. Comics portraying ideas of gender degrading and hatred will be not considered for the contest. Again, the goal of this contest is to make people more aware of gender equality, promote both artists and non artists to make a comic strip and give us some laughter to our day. ![](https://steemitimages.com/DQmaxMPXmrtVZbbVJsxa5VWoJvJfzRE3f9sYwCWcPahrLCD/image.png) That's it everybody.
