Hi all,
As the prizes have all been rounded up and I don't know the meaning of 'free time', I've signed on to help out by doing the article contest.
The way I've approached it thus far is that it would have two postings. In the inital posting, the contest is explained, and people are asked to nominate an article that they feel deserves consideration as the 'best' article in the IAP library - using whatever judging method they prefer...most informative, most innovative, most comprehensive, etc. That person would then nominate that article, and it would be entered into the contest. Each person can only nominate one article, but you don't have to nominate anyone to be able to vote in part 2 of the contest.
This would therefore thin out the number of articles for consideration, and each article would get more attention in the voting portion of the contest.
In a day or two, a new posting would be created with the names of the nominated articles. People would vote on their favourite via email - again only one vote per member.
Contingent on the number of prizes available, prizes would be awarded for first, second, and third place, and a bonus prize given to the person who nominated the first-place-winning article.
Sound OK so far?
Should there be a cap on the number of articles that are nominated? First 15? I'm not sure how many people will actually look over and consider in depth, so I don't want too many...how was it done in the past?
Rules:
Obvious one: The article must be in the IAP library
2. The article must be written (i.e. not video) ??
3. Only one nomination per member
4. Only one vote per member
5. You must read ALL of the articles nominated by the members!
Contest will take place during the second week of January
Any suggestions/concerns? What would you change?
