As part of your Application to the Challenge, you will be required to take part in the Peer-to-Peer Review. The Peer-to-Peer Review is the first phase of judging the applications to the Challenge, in which the participants review and judge each other’s applications, using specialized judging criteria described below. The same criteria will be used for all judging phases of the Challenge.

Applications will be scored using the Trait Scoring Rubric, which outlines the four criteria you should consider as you review: illumination, engagement, difficulty and creativity. Each of the four criteria will be graded on a 5-point scale. All scores will then be calculated using a special mathematical formula that ensures a fair and level playing field for all entrants.

During the Peer-to-Peer Review, each application will be reviewed by five (5) other participants. Participants will review and score the video based on the four criteria. It’s important that each participant reviews the applications carefully and fairly.

To complete your application and qualify for the prize, you will need to review and score at least five other applications by July 10, 2024 at 11:59 PM PDT (West Coast USA). You may be asked to review and score additional applications as well. You may review up to twenty (20) videos a day with a maximum number of 100 reviews.
