@Lloyd_Hightower Thank you for the opportunity to participate in the Gemini Competition—it was a valuable experience. That said, I think a few improvements could make the process even better for future participants:
-
Transparency: A way to track the evaluation stages, like a simple dashboard or timeline, would help participants stay informed and reduce uncertainty.
-
Faster Feedback: More rapid feedback during and after the competition would reduce guesswork and provide clearer insights on how to improve.
-
Clearer Expectations: Better-defined criteria and examples of successful submissions would set clearer expectations for participants. I understand you wanted to leave room for creativity, but again, providing certain goals would’ve made choosing projects that would align with the competition’s goals smoother.
-
Support System: A dedicated support function for questions and updates would help participants stay engaged without overloading the competition leads.
