Art & Design Panel
International Graphic Design / Branding experts and Thai art and design experts assess quality, creativity, identity and potential to develop into a brand.
Provincial & Private Sector Panel
Provincial representatives, food-industry representatives and experts in tourism, local wisdom or city branding assess suitability for Nakhon Pathom and how readily the public will understand it.
Both panels score entries to select the TOP 10, using the same 100-point criteria, and each panel’s average score carries equal weight. Score bands serve as guidance for assessment; judging is not based on personal preference alone.
