Essays will be judged on the basis of relevance to theme (1-25 points), creative expression (1-15 points), and clarity (1-10 points). Points from recipe judging and essay judging will be combined to determine the top 3 Finalists in each Olive Oil category. The finalist with the highest score will receive the grand prize.
