SayPro Week 3 (05-15-2025 to 05-21-2025): Early Submission for Preliminary Feedback
In Week 3 of the SayPro Monthly Science and Innovation Competition, participants who choose to submit their projects early will receive preliminary feedback from the judges or mentors. This feedback can be used to improve and refine their project before the final submission deadline on May 21, 2025.
Early Submission and Feedback Process:
1. Early Submission Deadline:
- Date: May 15, 2025
Participants who submit their complete project package by May 15, 2025 (a week before the official final submission deadline) will be eligible for preliminary feedback.
2. Components for Early Submission: Participants submitting early must include all the following in their initial submission:
- Final Proposal: A comprehensive project proposal with all necessary details (objective, methodology, impact, etc.).
- Research Documents: All supporting research materials that back the scientific or technological principles behind the innovation.
- Prototype (if applicable): Photos, videos, or demos of the physical or software prototype, including descriptions and functionality.
- Presentation Video: A clear, engaging video that summarizes the project’s innovation, impact, and feasibility.
3. How Early Submission Feedback Works:
- Review Process: Once participants submit their materials early, the judges or mentors will review the proposal, research, prototype (if applicable), and video.
- Preliminary Feedback: By May 18, 2025, participants who submit early will receive feedback on their project, including suggestions for improvement or clarification. This feedback may address:
- Areas where the proposal can be enhanced for clarity, impact, or detail.
- Suggestions to improve the prototype or demonstrate feasibility more effectively.
- Advice on presentation techniques to make the video more engaging and persuasive.
- Insights on the scalability and potential challenges of the project.
- Revision Period: After receiving this feedback, participants will have several days (until the final submission deadline) to refine their projects based on the suggestions received.
4. Benefits of Early Submission and Feedback:
- Improvement Opportunity: Early submitters can improve the quality of their project based on constructive feedback, increasing their chances of success.
- Less Pressure: Submitting early gives participants more time to reflect on the feedback, make necessary revisions, and polish their work without the last-minute rush.
- Enhanced Final Submission: Participants can submit a more polished and well-refined project by the final deadline, addressing potential issues before they become significant concerns.
- Mentorship Support: Early submissions will give participants the opportunity to engage with mentors more closely, ensuring the guidance is tailored to their specific needs.
5. How to Submit Early:
To take advantage of the early submission opportunity, participants should follow these steps:
- Complete your project (proposal, research documents, prototype/MVP, and video) by May 15, 2025.
- Submit your materials through the SayPro website using the early submission portal.
- Make sure all files are well-organized and clearly labeled (e.g., “SayPro_Proposal_YourName.pdf”, “SayPro_Prototype_YourName.mp4”).
- If you have specific areas where you’re unsure or want focused feedback, feel free to mention them when submitting, so mentors and judges can provide targeted advice.
6. Final Submission Deadline:
Even if you submit early, you must still submit your final project by May 21, 2025 to ensure your participation in the competition. The early submission is only for feedback, and you will have the opportunity to submit a final, polished version based on the feedback you receive.
7. What to Do After Receiving Feedback:
- Review the Feedback: Take time to read and understand the feedback thoroughly.
- Revise and Improve: Implement suggested changes and improvements. Whether it’s refining the proposal, enhancing your prototype, or improving your presentation, use the feedback to elevate the quality of your submission.
- Final Check: After making the revisions, ensure everything aligns with the competition guidelines, and conduct a final review to ensure your project is polished and complete.
Conclusion of Week 3:
In Week 3 (May 15-21, 2025), participants have the option to submit their projects early for preliminary feedback. This provides a great opportunity to enhance the quality of your work before the final submission. The early submission process:
- Encourages improvement through feedback.
- Provides more time for revisions before the final deadline.
- Helps refine your overall project, ensuring it meets the competition’s high standards.
Take advantage of this opportunity to get expert feedback early and ensure your project stands out in the competition!
