icopress I want to make public suggestion for next year Pizza event, and other members can comment if this is a good idea or not.
I think it would be a good idea to have small consolation prizes for best pizzas made by each local board, but only in case if they didn't receive any reward in main competition.
For example, we had several members in Croatian board, consolation prize would go to the local member with most votes.
It should be the same for other local boards but members need to be active there to qualify for consolation prize.
This could motivate local members to create better pizzas and it could also increase local activity in forum.
Based on the success of this year's event, I guess it would be too much to ask from the organizers to handle everything. It's quite a job to organize and compile results; it's not a one-person job as we saw. So I think it's the local board's responsibility to conduct internal competitions if they want. For example, we are already organizing a small reward of $50 for our participants to choose the
Best Pakistani Pizza Participant - Appreciation AwardHow about every local board will have their own contests like you have in your local boards. The winners of the local boards will be eligible to participate in the main event. Those who have no local board they can join directly in the main event.
Phase one: When someone is joining in the local contest, they can not join the main event, only if they win local contest then they can submit it in the main event.
Phase two AKA main event: Since some people do not have any local section, they can directly join the main event.
By the way, if you are thinking you are asking icopress [or his alt or spouse/relative... GazetaBitcoin] too much to do in these community contests then you are wrong. The return they receive from managing these contests are a lot more than the time and effort they spend. You, me [as a part of the sponsor of this year], and others are having fun, perhaps the winners are receiving some financial benefits but for icopress [and his family or alt], they are receiving business from it. They are using these contests as a business pitch to their clients. So making the contest more attractive means they will show it with more confidence to their potential clients.
