First round: in order to determine the candidates admitted to the final each juror will express a positive or negative opinion, at the end it will be decided who will be admitted to the final according to the number of positive and negative opinions.
A maximum of 20 candidates for the Junior category and 25 candidates for the Master category will be admitted to the final round.
Final round: to establish the winners, each juror will evaluate the finalists by expressing a vote in numbers (in hundredths), then an arithmetic average will be made among all the votes.

The new results publication dates are:
- 23 August, publication of candidates admitted to the final
- 8 September, publication of the winners.
