iDesir Idol Proposal

Introduction:
iDesiR Idol 2007, something that has never been done at iDesiR in the past. This will be the hunt for the best singer from the iDesiR community of thousands of dedicated members. Just like our half yearly awards the aim of this competition would be to provide a new source of entertainment and a motivation for the members, and to increase site activity and interaction among different members.

Tentative Road Map for the Competition :

The competition will begin as soon as the iDesiR MT gives their approval for the event and agrees on the awards. Step 1. A hype thread will be opened to inform the members of the upcoming event and generate anticipation. The prize information will be disclosed here too. Step 2. A thread will be opened to announce the format and rules of the game. Also the formal date of starting the submission of entries will be announced here. The period for submitting the entries will be 15 days and the competition will be open for everyone. Step 3. The winners of first round will be declared. These winners will be selected by the judges and will be somewhere around 75% of the original strength. The date for the entries of second round will be announce. Step 4. The winners of second round will be declared and if required a third Judges Round will be announced, same as Step 3. The number of round will depend upon the number of participants. We aim to narrow down the final round contestants to 30% of the original number. Otherwise we will announce the dates for Public Voting round entries. Step 5. A public poll will be opened to select the final winners. Step 6. The winners will be awarded their prizes.

The first round will be open to all members of iDesiR. The contestants for subsequent round will be the ones qualifying from the previous rounds.

Judges:
Judges should be someone who enjoys the confidence of the majority of the iDesiR members. Therefore, 5 popular, senior members of the site will be requested to form the judge panel. I have already asked a few members to accept the judge positions in the judge panel for the competition. Maharani Sahiba, Shehzaada, Desi Vibes, Purplehaze are ready whereas and Reva is yet to confirm. Final judge panel will be decided in due time. Your suggestions are most welcome in this area (and any other area too)

Judges Methodology:
Each judge will rate each entry on the scale of 10 points for each contestant. If a contestant has multiple entries, each will be rated on the scale of 10 and average will be taken. They will email or PM me the scores for each contestant. The sum of each judges score for each contestant will decide the top contenders in every round. As stated above, final round will be a public poll, the concept is self explanatory.

Entry Methods:
Aspiring Idol will send in their entries to idesiridol@yahoo.com or idesiridol@gmail.com. Each member can send any number of entries. Each entry should be at least 2 minutes long to be valid and should contain both, an antra and a mukhda. We want to keep the identity of the members protected in order to encourage the shy members and prevent any accusations of biased judging. To achieve that, we will require each contestant to send a password with his entry. That password will be their tag so as to keep them anonymous. The winners can identify themselves later by producing that password. The identities of the contestants will only be revealed before the final round. Entries will be uploaded on a site (putfile.com) and put up in the iDesiR Idol thread by me for the public to see and comment and also for the judges.

Expectations from the Admin:

For more participation and making the competition spicier and juicier, I would like the admin to give some prizes to the Winner and the 2 Runners up. Prizes could be something like a iDesiR Idol UserRank Image or a iDesiR Idol banner like the one Desi Dollz have, ratio free downloading for a period of one year for the winner and less for the runners up, Power User status or permission to use bigger avatar?? Depending upon the Admins Heart! I am open to any ideas on this topic. I dont know how much is asking too much Also we will require the front page publicity for the competition, using the logo (on first page). Similar to the publicity we have for iDesiR awards. Also, maybe I am asking for too much, but a separate section in the forums for iDesiR Idol would be great, it can be a sub forum in the already present awards section. But again, that is in your hands.
