The competition was divided into three phases. In "The Moment," artists had to create two keyframes, or a traditional concept art image. In "The Ride," artists had to design two Star Wars vehicles. Finally, "The Job" was a simulation of working as a concept artist, where expectations were high and directions could be vague or change at the last moment. Every piece of art had to fit the aesthetic of the original Star Wars trilogy, while at the same, having a uniqueness and personality. The judges were ILM employees Christian Alzmann, Doug Chiang, Amy Beth Christienson, Ryan Church, James Clyne, Bianca Draghici, Yannick Dusseault, Jason Horley, Alex Jaeger, Kevin Jenkins, Thang Le, Aaron McBride, David Nakabayashi, Kilian Plunkett, Stephen Tappin, and Eric Tiemens.
