CineStory judges are comprised of mentors and staff, all of whom are industry professionals with years of experience in script reading. Scripts are assigned at random but are never judged by the same person in more than one round.

Each judge is given clear guidelines and scripts are assessed in several areas, including: originality of voice, script craft, character development and story development.

After the quarterfinals, all scripts are assessed by more than one reader per round. Finalists are assessed by a group of finals judges who gather over dinner to discuss each finalist script and award prizes.
