How the judging works: Each judge is required to send us her/his winner (3 points), the other four women in the Top 5 (2 points each), and their remaining 5 favorites in the Top 10 (1 point each). The 10 best-ranked candidates + 1 pick from GB´s editor, make the Top 11 list. The judges receive the complete voting sheet after each round, making everything very clear.
