- The award name
- A Score – Points Awarded value that is used for ordering entries – higher value for higher awards
- The Score – Points Awarded value is also used for photography club poinstcore tracking.
- Items per catalog page – this value determines how this entry will be displayed in the PDF catalog. Generally the top award has 1 item per page and the lower awards are allocated higher item values to share the page with other entries.
- Display order determines the order when selecting awards.
