Wow good find. Will be helpful for ALL the competitors who are worried their app submissions didn’t get through.

This is amazing, thanks!!

This is a stupid amount of approved entries, I’m worry that is going to be very difficult for Google judges to give every app the time they deserve to be judged, unless they have a panel of 50 people helping , I don’t know how they are going to be fair

If I were hosting this competition, this is how I’d do it:

  1. Send 50 app submissions to 3 Googlers.
  2. Those 3 Googlers will judge each of the same 50 app submissions based on the following criteria (scoring them between 1-5): Remarkability, Creativity, Usefulness, Impactfulness, Execution.
  3. The average scores from those 3 Googlers will be recorded and used for judging each app as a whole.
  4. The host will shortlist the apps that scored the highest on each of the judging criteria.
  5. Then further refining the list till they figure out which app deserves which awards. Imagine an app that uses Firebase scores highly on all 5 categories will likely be picked as the winner.

Google is a large company. The hosts will surely get tons of volunteers at Google to help with judging criteria scoring. I mean who doesn’t enjoy watching new app creations?

This is how I imagined it’d work and why I competed in the first place. I’m randomly guessing everything here lol.

P.S. I agree that judging 3046+ apps by a few people ONLY would mean the competition will be HIGHLY subjective.

Also, they are most likely to follow the judging process I mentioned before that @Lloyd_Hightower said was spot on:

Let’s hope @Lloyd_Hightower have time to share with us the process :face_holding_back_tears:

very large panel with multiple rounds. Reminiscent of like the job interview process at a large tech company. Using the grading rubric each step of the way. An app will win because of an averaged out score not because one person selects it as such. hope this helps
