Judges will choose the top 20 entries which will join the parade on October 19 inside the mall and the judges will choose the top 3.
In this year’s edition of the competition, the stand, base, or mannequin is included in the overall judging of entries. Moreover, the masks should be wearable.

Judging will be based on originality (25 percent), creativity (25 percent), wearability (15 percent), durability (15 percent), ingenuity (10 percent), and overall presentation (10 percent).
Subaldo said the first place winner will receive P25,000, second place P15,000 and P10,000 for third place. He said they will also give consolation prizes for those who reached the top 20.
All the 58 entries will be displayed at the mall from October 1 to 21, 2012.
