Comments and Suggestions on selection of finalists

June 2, 2005

Hello, I was just viewing all the finalists in the contest and noticed that there was not even a single entry of an individual in the list. I guess it could be that the contributions did not meet the quality of finalists, but in a way individuals who contributed [like me for instance] find it a bit discouraging. While I find the final entries very impressive, I also have a sugggestion that maybe you could have seperate categories of judging for entries sent by individuals. I feel that entries by organizations and individuals are distinct in terms of their background, operation and resources and therefore should be evaluated seperately. Sincerely, Smita
