- Grant applications will be judged in two rounds. First, members of The Alexia prejudging panel will review submissions and forward selected entries to a panel of three judges for review before the judging weekend, when they’ll choose a grant recipient and two finalists. Recipients are chosen based on the judging panel’s assessment of the strength of both the topic and the submitted materials.
