SayPro Judging and Evaluation: Facilitators will serve as judges or evaluators, assessing the solutions based on creativity, feasibility, impact, and presentation.

SayPro Judging and Evaluation Process

Overview:
The SayPro Judging and Evaluation process is designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and excellence in assessing the innovative solutions submitted during the SayPro Development Quarterly Innovation Challenges. Facilitators will take on the role of judges or evaluators, carefully reviewing each submission based on predefined criteria.

Roles and Responsibilities of Facilitators

Facilitators will serve as judges or evaluators, ensuring that all submissions are assessed objectively. Their key responsibilities include:

• Reviewing each submission thoroughly
• Providing constructive feedback to participants
• Scoring solutions based on the judging criteria
• Selecting the most promising innovations for recognition and support

Judging Criteria

Submissions will be evaluated based on four primary criteria:

1. Creativity & Innovation (25%)
   • Does the solution introduce a novel approach or unique perspective?
   • How original is the idea compared to existing solutions?
2. Feasibility & Implementation (25%)
   • Can the solution be realistically implemented?
   • Are the proposed steps, resources, and technologies practical and achievable?
3. Impact & Scalability (25%)
   • What is the potential impact of the solution on the intended audience or sector?
   • Can the solution be scaled for broader application?
4. Presentation & Communication (25%)
   • Is the idea clearly articulated and well-structured?
   • Are supporting visuals, demonstrations, or prototypes used effectively?

Evaluation Process

1. Initial Screening:
   • Judges will conduct a preliminary review to ensure submissions meet the eligibility criteria and adhere to the competition guidelines.
2. Detailed Assessment:
   • Each judge will score submissions individually based on the evaluation criteria.
3. Deliberation & Discussion:
   • Facilitators will discuss top submissions, compare assessments, and refine scores if necessary.
4. Final Selection & Recognition:
   • The highest-scoring solutions will be selected for awards, mentorship, or further development opportunities.

Feedback & Support

All participants will receive constructive feedback to help them refine their ideas, whether they win or not. SayPro is committed to fostering continuous innovation and learning, encouraging participants to improve and resubmit their ideas in future challenges.
