How the Judging is Done
A panel of ProQuest judges will review the Podcasts and select finalists for each category based on the following criteria:
- Originality
Be creative! Did you capture the viewers' interest? What is the entertainment value?
- Content
Is the treatment of the subject matter accurate, relevant and meaningful? Was the purpose clearly stated and research inclusive of authoritative materials?
- Effectiveness
How clearly did you communicate the information? Is there a logical flow and organization? Does the delivery enhance the message?
- Production Quality
Are the sound, editing, and special effects purposeful and free of defects? Do you show an effective use of technology?
Podcasts submitted with copyrighted materials will be disqualified.
