What Changes Would You Like to See Made to Project14?

tariq.ahmad

Its been a long time since we've made any kind of changes to the format of Project14 but its due for an upgrade.   Its natural for programs to evolve overtime and things can't stay the same forever. We've experimented with different things with the program and some have been received more enthusiastically than others.   I'm starting this thread to see what kind of changes you would like to see us to make with this program.  What shouldn't be touched,  what would make things more exciting, and how do we grow the program without turning it into something different?  Should it be something different?   Where does Project14 fit in with the larger community?  Before getting this conversation underway, I would like to stress that the goal is to improve not diminish the program.  My managers have been very supportive from the beginning of this program and I want to reward their confidence.   Some of these changes are workload related.  Others are business related.  I'm open to all ideas and suggestions.

 

Topics on the Table:

 

- Launch Themes Every Other Month or Keep them Monthly?

- Shorter Contests or Longer Contests?

- If we have fewer contests Is there Stuff We Can Do In-Between?

- How Can We Make It Easier For More People to Participate?

- Should We have Bigger Prizes?

- Should we have a giveaway before we launch every contest?

- Most Importantly How Do We Make These More Fun?

  • Some great points about often seeing Top Members, high level and other familiar faces among the winners - although perhaps it's no surprise that people who create good quality entries become those things.

     

    How about a Project 14 specifically for people who either haven't entered (or haven't won a prize) before? Previous winners can't enter but are asked to support the entries from those new to it or to judge the submissions.

     

    If there were more entrants for each one I'd suggest a "new entrant" prize could be added to the regular monthly Project 14, but that might end up being given out by default.

    I'm fed up with seeing this pop up again and again. I'm going to ask e14 to remove me from the Top Members. There's nothing to gain being in and out of it, but I don't have to deal with the drama and tears anymore.

    I frankly don't think top member really shows anything, isn't it just a small badge next to your name and some better perks?

     

    Whether you're in the group or not, I easily recognize the people who consistently write great roadtest reports, those that consistently make good Project14 projects, those that consistently make good design challenge ideas.

     

    Just my two cents, kinda.

    Now you are privy to the inner workings of E14 I'm not sure you are allowed to leave image
