What are we evaluating Creativity • Design • Choice of media • Lay-out • Unique approach
Questions • Does this work sample offer something new, a fresh approach, something that hits you between the eyes, that make you feel – I wish I thought about this? • Am I not subjective? • How will the target audience feel about this – would it be new to them?
What are we evaluating? • Content • Writing, style and editing • Relevance of the information • Quality and relevance of the photographs/images
Questions • What were they trying to communicate? • Are the messages clear? • If you were in the target group, would you appreciate the message? • Were the photographs cropped to enhance their impact • Were the photographs used effectively – even if they are not high quality
Mark up if • The messages reflect the objectives • Clear, consistent, clever, messages • Messages are structured to interest the target audience • The branding is consistent • All the content elements form a unity
The strategic intent and outcomeWhat to look for • It should be clear why the project was carried out • It should solve a problem, fill a need, or help to leverage an opportunity • Ideally, the need should be identified by formal or informal research • Explanation of the characteristics of the target audience • How they used the resources available
Mark up for . . . • Explanation of the need • Indicate why the project was important • Indicate what they wanted to achieve • Formal or informal research used • Describe the target audience • A budget or clear explanation of how resources were optimised
Adjudication of the presentationWhat to look for • Does the work sample contain all of the elements and support material described in the plan? • The quality of the language • Is the entry well written and produced, making it easy to evaluate? • Did the entrant make an effort to create a positive image • Does the work sample contain all of the elements and support material described in the plan?
Mark up for • An explanation that is easy to understand • Quality writing – in the workplan and the project • The sample material is sufficient • Ease of evaluation • An effort made to make it easy to evaluate – headings, etc • Overall quality of the project
As a final check, ask yourself • Could this plan be used to show others what works? • Is it sensible, thorough, convincing and logical? • Was the project clearly under control and responsibly managed?
Complete the evaluation • Do the calculations • Ask yourself, is this worth an Award of Excellence • Review your comments – are they kind, helpful, would you like somebody to say this about your work? • Is there elements in this project that needs to be rewarded separately?
