The contenders were judged based on their personal qualities and character, instructional competence and teaching effectiveness, and professional and community involvement.

The acclaimed educator for each category was awarded a cash prize of Thirty Thousand Pesos (Php 30,000.00) and a Guronasyon plaque of recognition. A cash incentive of Three Thousand Pesos (Php 3,000.00) was given to the finalists.
