Is it an objective choice based upon a predetermined set of standards, or a subjective choice where concensus is reached as to the keris with the highest degree of visual appeal?

It is an objective choice based upon a predetermined set of standards. In summary, a points based system awarded by a panel of judges. I guess you could drop a mail to Adni for details.
