Evaluation Process
(Microsoft Power Platform® Community App Challenge)
Stage 1 - Self-Evaluation & Verification
19-Sep to 30-Sep
As the number of entries may be high, we have devised a self-evaluation mechanism to find the overall score for each entry. The top 30 self-evaluation scores will be verified by the Judges.
​
The verification could be through written communication via email and/or via a 15-minute online meeting with the participants. Due to possible timezone differences, these 30 candidates will be split between 3 groups of Judges, each group for a different region. The Top 10 Scores, after verification, will be qualified for Stage 2.
​
Each entry's lifecycle will be managed by this process:

The actual Submission Dialog for Stage 1 is like this:

The UX for the Judges is work-in-progress and will be published here once available.

Stage 2 - Evaluation
24-Oct to 3-Nov
The Evaluation Process is very similar to Stage 1, and the participants will need to adjust their Stage 1 self-evaluation to reflect their solution created for Stage 2.
​
All 10 entries in Stage 2 will be verified through a 30-minute online meeting. The 3 groups of Judges applies here too, if the participants' regions, requires it so.
​
After verification, the top 5 scores will be qualified for Stage 3.
Stage 3 - Final Evaluation
12-Dec to 20-Dec
This process is repeated one more time the same way.
​
All 5 entries in Stage 3 are verified via a 1-hour online meeting.
The meetings would be attended by all the Judges that can be present.
​
There will be another 1-hour internal meeting by the Panel to decide the Winner and Runner-Up.
​
The final results will be published on 22-Dec-2022.
