No themes. No scores. Just warm, thoughtful, constructive feedback from a rotating panel of seasoned judges who may or may not be liquored up at any given time during the show. Judges confer at the end of the night to crown the "Best in Show." Winner gets fabulous prizes. (Probably just verbal accolades and a bag of chocolates from Duane Reade.)
