> Mechanics of "Sweet Seeds® Grower of the Month"
On days 1, 2 and 3 of the following month, the Sweet Seeds® jury (composed of a minimum of 4 people) will choose the winner through an internal vote. Each member of the jury will give 10 points to his/her favourite grow diary, 7 points to the 2nd favourite, 5 points to the 3rd, 3 points to the 4th and 2 points to the 5th. The points will be added to find the winner and between the 5th and the 15th of each month the winner of the previous month will be announced based on the votes.
The contestant who wins the 1st place prize in "Sweet Seeds® Grower of the Month" will be excluded from future candidacies for this category until the end of the contest. That is, each contestant can only be chosen as "Sweet Seeds® Grower of the Month" on one occasion.
Each judge attributes the points according to a subjective evaluation of the work of each grower. Although its assessment is based on the same parameters assessed for the attribution of the final awards, it is inevitable that the 30-day time limit interferes with the importance of each of the parameters and their impact on the decision.
Although the last 30 days are the most important to assess this award, when the jury realizes that things are very levelled/even between 2 or more contestants, the last 60 days will be taken into consideration for the evaluations. So, if you think you did a good job in the current month but you have not reached the podium, don’t think that your effort was in vain. Keep up your good work for one more month, as it can all accumulate and give you more chances of winning a prize.
The name "Sweet Seeds® Grower of the Month" is based on a symbolic term. We are convinced that it is obvious to all that we do not choose the best grower (literally speaking) because that would be very difficult to evaluate. The judges rely more on looking for the diary that is visually closer to perfection and finding the contestant who shared the best and more impacting content (texts, photos, videos, etc.) during that month (from our subjective point of view).
