How they’re judged

We had a comment earlier that asked about how the teams were judged and what happens afterward.

First, we have four celebrity judges:
Christine Durand, Director of Communications for the MN Council of Nonprofits
Dan Grigsby, Founder of multiple startups and tech community organizer
Robert Stephens, Found of The Geek Squad
Chris Wiggins, Creative Director of Fallon

In the morning each judge will spend 10 minutes with each team finding out what challenges they faced over the course of the night, what their plans were, and evaluating the new site. After that each team gives a five-minute presentation about the features and functionality of their new site.

Each site is team is judged on:
Website design aesthetic, look-and-feel, and functionality (50 points)
Client satisfaction (25 points)
Commitment of ongoing support (25 points)
Presentation (10 points)

The team with the highest average score wins.

Of course, we think everyone involved is already a winner. Twelve nonprofits are getting badass new websites and the nerds get to do a really good deed for the day. But yes there are most certainly bragging rights on the line.
