Would you be interested in judging a design challenge?
Here's what you would need to do:
1. I would send you all the final project/summary blogs. For this particular competition, it looks like it will be 7 blogs. (To put this in context, in the past, I used to give the judges all the blogs, but that was around 50 blogs! It was just too much. So, I went to giving the judges just the final blog for each participant.)
2. The judge needs to go through the blogs and score it from 0 to 300 points, based on creativity & technical merit. Of course, you can create your own categories for scoring. How you score the blog is up to you and kept confidential, just like all court system juries. The final points, however, are posted on this page.
3. The judges take about a week and send me their final scores.
4. I'll review them and average them and the final scores are added to the points accrued for individual blogs. For ties, all three judges will discuss and decide together how to resolve the tie.
Why do I have a point scoring system?
I went to this scoring approach because I think it's fairer and there's more transparency. The judges also meticulously read the blogs and I feel overall judge the final blogs objectively. Three different people are involved in the final scores (2 judges and myself for the extra credit blogs only) and I think that adds into the fairness.
