Technicality: what are the skills you displayed in making this beat? The technical aspects of the your craft. The layers and sounds do they match? How many? etc
Creativity: how unique your entry is? How well it revolves around the universal theme? Holy smokes we have never heard that sound before? A creative video and/or artwork o yeahhhhh. Also, the amount of information, knowledge, and effort put into creating the entry and Steemit post come into consideration as well.

Love life; can't get much positive and uplifting than that.
What an experience this entry is. From the catchy and uplifting lyrics to the video that is so fun and engaging.
Love how you switch the tone of your voice and parts of the beat around 1:20. And then adding that uplifting sound around 1:33 so awesome.
"I love life and I'm going to live. I'm going to give it all I can give it."
Amennnnnnnn.

Holy smokes what an uplifting beat.
Everything from the arrangement to the ideal sound quality to the cover image all point to positivity.
Absolutely love that sound you bring in at 0:33 that hits the soul. And that sound you bring in at 0:50 what an uplifting vibe that creates.
I feel like you can play this beat for different generations and they will all respect and love it because of the different instruments/sounds you integrate and the way you do it.

https://dsound.audio/#!/@lefthouse/20180528t054944825z-sml-beat-battle-s2-r11-riddim-inside-dsound-exclusive
O heck yeahhhhhh such a burst of positive energy with this one.
Love those sounds you choose as your main sounds (that are evident in the first 30 sec). And how you brought in the beat around 0:31 that is so epic.
And appreciate how you slow it down from 1:05-1:28 and bring that bass in and then we are off as you bring the beat in again around 1:29.
So pumped I got to listen to this after the uploading issues. Appreciate your understanding and appreciate you taking the time and effort to create this positive and uplifting beat o weeeeee.

Ayyyy what a positive and uplifting element you create with this one.
Those sounds you selected, especially those you introduce in the beginning create such a positive spin.
Like around 0:53 you create such a smooth vibe and then that xylophone comes in.

Ayyy yessssssss.
What an amazing collection of positive sounds (like at 1:38 and 1:52) you integrate into this one to create such an uplifting beat.
The vibe and mood is relaxed but still has some tempo to it so you can listen to it throughout your day as some positive, get-you going music.
And what a cover art o myyyyyyy. Now that is a professional, theme reiterating cover art.
Appreciate you taking part in the #beatbattle.

The following are the honorable mentions in order of ranking based off the judging panel off this specific theme:
@kuchee with an average of 4.61 from the judging panel winning 18 SMOKE for a total of 18 points.

https://musicoin.org/track/0x907fdfc9fa6ad6b8f1f8fbc325519928e1f13947
What a dope beat holy smokes.
Such a positive vibe and mood created by your arrangement, your selection of sounds, and the high sound quality.
Love what you did around 1:05 speeding up the tempo (at least perceived) and then hitting us with that segment starting at 1:29 so dope.
And that slowdown around 2:15 is so well done in my opinion. Transitions us and then you hit us with that uptempo vibes to really turn this beat into an epic beat.
Appreciate the time and effort you put into creating this entry.
Much love and respect.
