Neither are the ones painted on media such as canvas or computer. For judging each single piece, there are four categories. Subjects of the categories are not objective. Neither are the the single assessments. Categories innovation and memorability are weighted from 0 to 15 points, categories satisfaction and sexiness are weighted from 0 to 10 points. Adding these categories‘ scores, there is a maximum grand total for a piece‘s overal fitness of 50 points.

More than a hundred pieces were done with a budget lower than 5€. This seems rather unusual- yet necessary for managing the amount of pieces. Amongst the fittest pieces the number of pieces painted in less than 30 minutes is quite high. As the fitness development shows, the fittest pieces usually got painted after some rather mediocre ones.
