Assigning a Quality Score for Design Competitions - Organizers and Sponsors Abstract: Organizers and Sponsors could be lead actors when defining the success of a design competition and its credibility, involving many different bodies could be useful to increase the dissemination of results, spread of news and by doing so having better submissions and designs. This information could play a decisive role on entrants’ preference to join a design competition or not. This paper discusses how we could calculate a raw score for Organizers and Sponsors. First of all, to calculate a raw quality score for organizers and sponsors details, we are going to check press and public communication by the competition organizer to find out relevant information such as organizer and sponsors names, sponsor types and sponsorship types from flyers, call for entries and posters, plus we check the competition website, any press releases and also the sponsors websites to retrieve further information. If we cannot find this information with aforementioned methods, we send the competition organizers an email to ask them. We use the organizers and sponsors score sheet to calculate the raw store for organizers and sponsors. Organizers and Sponsors score is calculated from the following criteria: The Organizer, Number of Sponsors, Website of Sponsors, Sponsor Types and Sponsorship Types. Please note that for the organizer and sponsor scores, we do not consider other factors such as fees, jury details, country of origin and establishment dates, website and country of origin of the organizer etc. as they are discussed in detail in relevant sections. Collected Information: Organizer and Sponsors’ Information and Backgrounds. Organizer and Sponsors Score Sheet:
