The Bonus Round results for the Second Stage of the Blockchain Contest are here.
In our evaluation, the quality of promotional materials – websites and videos – played the most important role. We also awarded bonus points to those projects that offered a working web service or Telegram bot.
Another chief component in our decision was the presence of unfixed issues – whether newly discovered, or highlighted by our judges during the second stage of the contest.

The third stage of the JavaScript Contest is starting this week. Stay tuned 👋
A few clarifications about the Educational Test Contest:
1. The results of the first round will be announced in June, and the second round will start right after that.
2. Participants are welcome to try out the quizzes of their competitors, and leave comments. If you find valid issues with a competing quiz and describe them in a comment (see instructions above 👆), this may increase your chances of winning.
3. Before the results are announced, each submitted quiz will be checked by several judges. Quizzes that have already been checked will show a Contest Score. Our evaluation criteria will be published when the results are announced.
4. We decided to give participants time until the end of this week to check other quizzes and leave their comments. Then our judges will begin the evaluation process.
P.S.
Everyone can rate quizzes after completing them. Community ratings are displayed after several users have passed the test. Quizzes with higher community ratings will be eventually shown at the top of the page, but this will not affect their contest score. All quizzes will be checked, regardless of their community rating.
P.P.S.
If you were experiencing any issues when logging in on quiz.directory, please try again. Should work now.

We have decided to give participants of the Educational Test Contest one more week to check quizzes submitted by others and leave comments.
Our judges will begin evaluating quizzes on Monday, June 8.
===
Please leave a comment:
1. If you see a test that violates intellectual property rights (e.g. the test itself is copied from somewhere or features copyrighted illustrations/media).
2. If you find mistakes in questions, answers or explanations.
Always inсlude links and other evidence in your comment. For example, a link to the source of the test or media in it (for copyright issues) or to materials confirming the correct answer (for wrong answers).
Test authors will get notifications about new comments on their quizzes. We highly recommend to reply to any comments you find unfair – with appropriate explanations and corrections.
For example, if someone alleges that media in your test infringes on copyrights, you could include links to sources proving that the media you used is distributed under a free license that allows this kind of usage, etc.

Judge evaluation of the Educational Test Contest is now 50% done.
We had hoped to be able to share the final results by now, but we underestimated the time it would take to give every Quiz the attention it deserved and to ensure that our judgements were correct.
So, today, we are instead sharing the criteria our Judges have used to help determine which Quizzes will not be getting a prize in this round of the contest. These criteria were developed after the submissions period ended as opposed to at the start of the competition to ensure that we did not prevent creative uses of the platform which we had not predicted.
This document, which includes details of what to do if you believe your Quiz was incorrectly judged, can be read from here:
