Re: The FIRST Oscars
Ok -
One of the first things that we need to do is to setup a website. Our team would be willing to pay for the domain as well as the hosting if another team would be willing to actually do the coding.
The page will need to have the following sections:
Front-Page w/info
An Info Page on the Process Details
A Submission Page for Stage 1 (This could be just a database registration at first. Eventually we will want it to support team registration so that each team only gets one submission.)
Voting Subpages for Stage 2 (This should have a sub-page for each category. We would embed each YouTube File submitted in Stage 1. We would also want to have a voting system. This could be as simple as a separate form where teams enter their info and then select by number their chosen video for each category. Ideally, we would want to have a registration system setup so that a team representative could create a team account without having multiple members from the same team registering. They would then login and submit their votes.)
Voting Subpages for Stage 3 (This again will be a selection of subpages with the top 5 videos chosen in stage 2. The registration system will be largely the same except we will only register those that are chosen as official judges.)
Another option to consider is finding a FIRST Sponsor that may wish to attach their name to this. They could perhaps sponsor renting an area at one of the downtown hotels at St. Louis as well as the trophies. It would be "The Plowie Awards sponsored by Such and So" or "The Such and So Plowie Awards."
Once this is done, we are ready to let the voting begin.
Now - if this can't be done, then we simply setup a few Google Spreadsheets and someone will have to volunteer to make sure only one person per team is voting.
So here is our immediate action plan - I need a team to volunteer to act as the Website Coders. We could also use a team that would design a good graphic for the event. Once we have that in place, the coders would have approximately two weeks at most to get the initial voting stages setup so we can get started right around week one of the regionals.
PM me if there are any takers and comment here with any other suggestions.
