Round 4: From the pool of Graphites, the judges select the entries which have elevated themselves to Yellow Pencil status. White Pencil judging: From all of the awarded work, judges look for ideas that show a purpose beyond profit, while still excelling creatively. Black Pencil judging: Finally, Jury Presidents look at all of the Yellow and White Pencil winning work, and award the coveted Black Pencils – the best of the best.
