Here is how judging worked: All pumpins were assigned a number, so children were anonymous. Four staff members served as judges. For each age group, the judges collectively pulled 5 top pumpkins. The judges then privately ranked the 5 pumpkins from 1 for the best down to 5, and the scores were tallied. The pumpkins with the lowest total scores won.
