One Day I will.. CONTEST RESULTS!

Wow! It was not an easy task to pick the winners. Everyone has their own ambitions and dreams of the future and I thank all the participants for sharing their dream with us.

The judging process

The 35 entries were divided into 5 broad categories, FAMILY, PERSONAL, ISLAMIC, BLOGGING/ONLINE BUSINESS and HUMOROUS. Then each entry went through 3 rounds of evaluation.

FIRST ROUND

35 entries

The best 3 or 4 from each category advanced to the next round (this was to ensure diversity).

FINAL ROUND

4 entries

(so I have increased the prizes to top 4 instead of top 3)

Each judge rated the entry according to their opinions. Giving 4 marks for the one they liked the best, 3 marks for second, and so on. Full marks was 20.

I hope that everyone will be satisfied with the judging process :)
