Here’s a detailed Neftaly Scoring Criteria Matrix to help judges score competition entries systematically and transparently:
Neftaly Scoring Criteria Matrix
| Criteria | Description | Weight (%) | Score Range | Weighted Score (Score × Weight) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Creativity & Originality | Uniqueness and imaginative quality of the work | 30% | 1 to 10 | |
| Relevance to Theme | How closely the entry aligns with the competition theme | 25% | 1 to 10 | |
| Writing Quality | Grammar, vocabulary, clarity, style, and flow | 20% | 1 to 10 | |
| Emotional Impact | Ability to engage and evoke emotions in the reader | 15% | 1 to 10 | |
| Structure & Organization | Logical flow, coherence, pacing, and presentation | 10% | 1 to 10 |
Instructions for Judges:
- Score each criterion from 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).
- Multiply the score by the weight percentage (expressed as decimal, e.g., 30% = 0.30).
- Sum all weighted scores to get the total score (maximum 10).
Example:
| Criteria | Weight | Score | Weighted Score |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creativity & Originality | 0.30 | 8 | 2.4 |
| Relevance to Theme | 0.25 | 9 | 2.25 |
| Writing Quality | 0.20 | 7 | 1.4 |
| Emotional Impact | 0.15 | 8 | 1.2 |
| Structure & Organization | 0.10 | 7 | 0.7 |
