youtube views! terrible way of judging a competition
Hi Paul,
You know, I am kind of torn on this point. I think from a sponsor’s point of view, the more views the better, and you want your contest entrants to push all their friends and family to view and vote. This is the “engagement” value prop of video contests.
Of course, from the creator’s POV, it becomes a popularity contest instead of a meritocracy. This gives a certain set of prolific creators with a following an advantage – but again, from the sponsor’s point of view, this is exactly who you would want to attract!
YouTube views as a judging criteria also encourages early entries – sponsors often complain to me that they see no entries until the last few days before contest due dates. Anyway, I think a blend of critical judging and views in a points formula is an appropriate compromise. What do you think?
Regards,
Douglas at VidOpp
