Judging

Judging will be done by a combination of judges and a public poll. Scores and rankings will be done by the judges. The winner of the public poll will win a people's choice award. There will be other special awards as Miss Photogenic (for the best looking portrait of Round 1), Judges' Choice and others. There will be five judges to rate each entry for creativity, historical accuracy, shading, and all-around thoroughness. Information on later rounds will be announced when each round opens. After each round, all entries will be judged and ranked. If you fail to submit an entry for a round, you will be eliminated from the pageant, receive your final ranking and not be able to enter any sucessive rounds.

Judges

Under construction

Evelyn- She's the owner MDH for last two years, has been dolling for three years and she is a tool shader. Except dolling, Evelyn has many other hobbies including photography, drawing, reading, spend time with friends and family, surfing the web and of course her big love- writing. In MDH she will pay attention to the personality of the dolls, the details and the presantation of the character, the historical accuracy as well as the shading.

Patti- Patti is an archaeology student and lover of historical fashions. She's been dolling for 6 years and is a toolshader, although she occasionally tries pixelshading and fails spectacularly. She likes to spend her time reading, singing, daydreaming, playing FarmVille and amusing the family pets. As a judge in MDH she will pay attention to historical accuracy, face edits, depiction of the character and shading.
Patti is the winner of Miss Doll History 2009 and you can visit her deviantART right here or her site Athenaeum Dolls



Andrew- is a tool shader who has been dolling for about two years, and enjoys dolling almost exclusively historical dolls. In judging entries, he will look for accuracy from hair color to makeup to clothing, as well as correct personality in facial expression and posture. Also, he will look for accurate facial features where portraiture and photographs are available.
Andrew is returning for MDH 2010, as he was in the panel last year, too! You can visit Andrew's deviantART right here



Keke- My name is Keke, I'm 23 years old soon to be 24. I've been dolling for about four years. I enjoy many other things other than dolling, I enjoy reading, writing, surfing the internet, hanging out with my family and playing golf. The things I will be looking for in a doll is following the given theme and details. I love small details.

Penty- Penty is a baby linguist and incorrigible history nerd with a soft spot for revolutions, classical composers, and the last two crazy centuries. She has an embarrassing fangirl crush on Gustav Mahler. In her spare time she likes to read, dream up stories, and of course doll, which she's been doing (very slowly) for about three years now, dabbling in both tool and pixel shading. As a judge she will look for personality, historical accuracy, and gorgeous dresses.
