Looks good sauce looks a little over set and splochy nice layout and trim presentation. Style helps with the illusion that all prices are the same size not too much varnish I give it a 9 nice box

Would be a 9 except for the hole poked in the one on the left.
Others will gripe about uneven size but I don't think it's a symmetrical meat contest. i'm judging on whether it looks tasty.

Score is an 8

Not a fan of "bumpy skin"

If you add seasoning or a bit of dry rub after the cooking process and just before the glaze or in the glaze the dry rub never breaks down and ends up chunky causing what looks like bumpy skin. I would suggest cooking off the rub if any or grinding it down a bit to avoid that look since it's not very appealing.

Score 9. Nice looking box and looks very appetizing for appearence. My only concern would come during the tasting as the chicken looks to be very heavly spiced, but that is not what we are judging at this time.

non-traditional display, looks nice. Minor trim issue, this was so close to a 9.

9 - Excellent

I'd give that a 9. There appears to be a finger mark that could have used some touching up on the front left thigh, and the greenery in the middle, to me, would be better off a little more subtle and not covering the chicken. That said though, looks so good, I'd overlook all that and still give it a 9.

Nothing wrong here - I really love the circular pattern, taking the whole "art of presentation" to heart

Pictures are always tough to judge; this one is no exception. It's quite possible this is a 9 if I could see it in person.

It's very nice and appetizing. There's a little color blotchy going on that's distracting. Also, some of the garnish is in the way of the meat (center). Otherwise, nice presentation.

Purpose

The purpose of BBQ Critic's JudgeMyBox section is to provide feedback to competition cooks. Certified BBQ Judges who visit this site will score the photo of a contest box (using KCBS judging rules) and may optionally leave a comment explaining their score.

The idea is to allow the cook to get inside the mind of a judge (judges do have varying opinions) so they can use this information to help improve scores on APPEARANCE.

In turn, the BBQ Critic editorial team will provide feedback on some judge scores and commentary that stray from the KCBS rules. This will help our judges become better judges and keeps everyone on the same page. Judges may also encounter some fun challenges at times (click for example).

Comments about boxes or judges scores may be discussed in our online FORUM in a respectful manner.

Please be mindful that scoring photo boxes may not be as accurate as scoring the box in person. Lighting, glare, angles, etc may affect the overall score. Judges also have more time to stare at your box, so that means we may get very detailed about the good and the bad.

Have fun, judges! Oh, and cooks? Please send us your boxes. We love to judge Q here at BBQ Critic. ;-)
