If you don't mind my asking, how exactly are the points averaged? And if one decides to participate in a single category, is that person still eligible for winning?

Determining Winners
Category Winners: Each of the two final scores will be added together to constitute the entry's total score, with the highest score determining the winner of each category.
The winner of each individual category will pick the theme for that category in the next competition. If there is a tie, then they can work together to come up with a theme. If you pick the theme for a category, then you cannot compete in it in the next competition.
Contest Winner: The entry with the highest individual score across the three categories will then be coronated as the contest winner and become the judge of the next competition. To clarify, this means that the highest of the 3 high scores is the winner.
If one person wins two or more categories, they win, regardless of if any of their individual scores are the highest.
If two or more entries are tied for highest score, the contestant with the highest total score for all of their entries will take the crown - so be sure to try and put something forward for every category to win a tiebreaker
For category score averages, an entry's scores are added up, -5'd, and divided by the number of votes minus one.
If you don't mind my asking, how exactly are the points averaged? And if one decides to participate in a single category, is that person still eligible for winning?
Yes, the highest score amongst the category winners wins even if that person only posted in that category, unless someone wins multiple categories, or in case of a tie breaker.

Any updates?

I think we have worked out the themes for each category, so its just a matter of Platyboss putting the next thread together.
Platyboss, if you need any help with that let me know!
