Here is a detailed plan for SayPro Task – Collect Feedback and Report, which focuses on gathering feedback from both participants and judges, analyzing the overall performance of the contest, and creating a comprehensive report. This task is due by 01-22-2025.
SayPro Task: Collect Feedback and Report
1. Objectives
- Collect Feedback: Gather detailed feedback from both participants and judges to evaluate the overall experience of the contest.

2. Collecting Feedback from Participants
A. Post-Contest Survey for Participants
- Survey Design:
- Create an online survey that is easy to fill out and engaging for participants. Tools such as Google Forms, SurveyMonkey, or Typeform can be used to create a simple yet effective survey.
- Include a mix of quantitative (rating scale) and qualitative (open-ended) questions to capture both measurable data and detailed feedback.
- Sample Questions for Participants:
- Contest Experience:
- How would you rate your overall experience participating in the contest? (1-10 scale)
- How easy was it to navigate the submission process? (Very easy / Easy / Neutral / Difficult / Very difficult)
- Did you face any technical issues during the submission process? If yes, please describe.
- Theme and Guidelines:
- How clear were the contest guidelines and rules? (Very clear / Clear / Neutral / Unclear / Very unclear)

- Encourage participants to complete the survey by offering a small incentive, such as a discount on future contests or access to exclusive content.
- Data Collection:
- Allow at least 5-7 days for participants to complete the survey to ensure a good response rate.
- Regularly check the responses as they come in to identify any major trends or concerns that may need immediate attention.
B. Incentivizing Participation in the Survey
- Offer Incentives: Consider offering small incentives, such as entry into a raffle for a photography-related prize or a discount on future contest entries, to encourage more participants to complete the feedback survey.
- Social Media Reminders: Post reminders on the SayPro social media channels, encouraging participants to fill out the feedback form and share their thoughts.
3. Collecting Feedback from Judges
A. Post-Judging Survey for Judges
- Survey Design:
- Similar to the participant survey, create a post-judging feedback survey for the judges. This will help assess the judging process, judge satisfaction, and areas for improvement.
- Sample Questions for Judges:
- Judging Process:
- How would you rate the clarity of the judging criteria? (Very clear / Clear / Neutral / Unclear / Very unclear)
- Was the process of reviewing submissions straightforward and easy to follow? (Yes / No)
- Did you feel there were enough submissions to evaluate? (Yes / No)

- Do you feel the judging process was fair and unbiased? (Yes / No)
- Did you experience any challenges in evaluating the submissions? If so, please explain.
- Overall Experience:
- How satisfied were you with your overall experience as a judge? (Very satisfied / Satisfied / Neutral / Dissatisfied / Very dissatisfied)
- Suggestions for Improvement:
- Do you have any suggestions on how to improve the judging process in the future?
- What additional support or resources could be helpful to improve your experience as a judge?
- Judging Process:
- Survey Distribution:
- Send the feedback survey to judges soon after the contest has concluded and results have been announced, thanking them for their valuable contribution and requesting their feedback.
- Data Collection:
- Allow a few days for judges to submit their feedback and follow up if necessary to ensure timely responses.
4. Analyzing Feedback and Contest Performance
A. Data Analysis
- Quantitative Analysis:
- Summarize the Ratings: Compile the survey results from both participants and judges. Calculate averages for ratings (e.g., satisfaction scores) and track trends (e.g., percentage of participants who felt the contest guidelines were clear).
- Identify Patterns: Look for common themes in responses. For example, if many participants had trouble submitting their photos or felt the judging process was unclear, these would be key areas for improvement.
- Qualitative Analysis:
- Review Open-Ended Feedback: Analyze open-ended responses (from both participants and judges) for constructive criticism, suggestions for improvement, and any specific challenges they encountered.
- Categorize Feedback: Organize feedback into categories (e.g., submission process, communication, judging fairness, contest theme) to make it easier to spot trends.
- Engagement Metrics:
- Participation Rates: Analyze the number of submissions received, the diversity of participants (e.g., amateur vs. professional), and geographic distribution.
- Survey Response Rates: Track the response rates for participant and judge surveys to assess engagement levels and the quality of the feedback.
