Re-Entering Old Projects In Project14 Contests

4 Jan 2018

This is an experiment to see if I can embed a poll in an appropriate place, ( tariq.ahmad explained how to do it) but the content may be interesting as well.

The poll question is pretty simple - Should old projects be eligible for Project14 contests if they have already been entered in previous contests?

Personally I see no reason why not but others may and probably do have different opinions.

If projects are re-entered they may suffer a natural penalty in judgments.

I expect some of the Project14 topics to recur, especially the popular ones, and members may want to tweak their old designs and re-enter.

And some projects may have been entered as a poor fit to a topic, but a more appropriate Project14 topic comes up later.

I realize there is more than one question to answer in the poll, but only one check box can be checked, so feel free to add comments.

    I feel like it should be OK to reenter a previous project in a new contest if it has not won yet. There is bound to be overlap between competitions over time. Having said that, a reentered project would…

    Hi Doug, the third response goes even further than competitions. This could have been published elsewhere e.g. in a magazine or on youtube or a blog. I think that is definately too restrictive. There's…

    The experiment sort of works (thanks tariq.ahmad ) - the scores show in both places, but it appears you may need to visit the actual poll as well as this blog to see all the comments: https://www.element14…

    I agree. I think any project should be eligible as long as there is enough information for voters to decide on its merit. These projects aren't sponsored so it should be up to the contestant to decide what they want to submit.

    Hi Doug, the third response goes even further than competitions. This could have been published elsewhere e.g. in a magazine or on youtube or a blog. I think that is definately too restrictive.

     

    There's also the question of competitions beyond Element14?

     

    As Frank mentions, project can get reworked or modified long after the origional competition. So should we exclude something new or novel that is a derivative work?

    I feel like it should be OK to reenter a previous project in a new contest if it has not won yet.  There is bound to be overlap between competitions over time.  Having said that, a reentered project would almost certainly stand a better chance of winning if it has been modified to better meet any requirements in the contest that differ from the original submission.

     

    If the contest is a repeat or say annual in nature - e.g. Halloween-  then previous winners without modification should not be allowed in my opinion.  But by all means allow the improvement cycle to work for submissions that have not yet won.
