How will my latte art be judged?

Our panel of judges will grade each latte based on our provided scoring rubric. The scoring categories are as follows: Milk Texture, Symmetry, Contrast, Creativity, Presentation. The scores for each category will be added and averaged, and the winner will be announced.

How can I be sure the competition is fair?

In the interest of fairness, no competitors from The Understudy team will be allowed. No heckling or any other form of interference with another competitor will be tolerated. The grading rubric will ensure judges are all considering the same set of criteria.

What if I've never competed before?

Don't worry! It's going to be a fun, supportive environment, and we'll make sure you know what you need to do.
