Criteria for Evaluation
In the second round, three projects per category will be selected as the final winners of WSYA.
The evaluation is done on the basis of five criteria:
Jurors will evaluate project entries in a rigorous two-stage process:
In the first “elimination” round of judging, projects in all five categories will be evaluated by three pools of jury members in order to obtain a short list of ten projects per category.
In the second round, two to three winners will be selected from each category. In this round, all jurors will have a chance to judge short-listed projects to ensure objectivity and thoroughness.
From the numerous online platforms submitted during the application period, jurors independently review each site and rate them based on their content, design, innovation/creativity, interactivity and sustainability. Each project is evaluated by a minimum of two jurors and votes are tabulated online to ensure fairness and accuracy.
Winners and runners-up will be notified and they will be given the opportunity to present their projects at the WSYA WINNERS EVENTS in New York City from 18.-22. September 2010
