Here is a summary of the most frequently asked questions
- Does your relationship with the organisers or jury members, or the giving or receiving of money, influence the outcome of the judging of the Grand Prize or Excellence Award?
-
でません。そもそも審査の仕組みとしてそのような事は発生しません。
私たちBTA実行委員会ならびに審査委員会は、これからのベビーテック市場の発展と利用者となる子どもに寄り添う皆さんにとって有益であるかを審査します。また、そしてテクノロジーは難しいもの、なんだかこわいものと感じる方たちにも専門家の目で安心できる確かな商品やサービスをご紹介する意味も持ってこのコンテストを開いています。
審査は採点基準となる5項目に対しそれぞれ5点満点で点数をつけ、その合計点数で順位を算出、一番多くの得点を獲得されたものが大賞、2位・3位が優秀賞となります。各審査委員の採点投票がある毎に順位が入れ替わる部門もあります。また、採点時に審査員は評価コメントも必ず入れるようにしており、真摯に取り組んでいます。
正しくきちんとした審査を行うために、応募いただいた皆様から審査料をいただいております。書類審査で一定の水準をもつ商品には 一次審査通過の BabyTech® Awards 2023 Qualified マークを進呈しています。こちらが審査料を皆様からいただいた審査委員会からお渡しする成果物の一つとなります。

- I've just released my app and don't have much experience, will this affect the review process?
-
No, we do not.
We do not have a set criteria for the awards, although we will use this as a reference to see how big the market is currently. The judges will use their own judgement, but we believe that any product or app that is just starting out will get a good score. We have also seen significant growth in adoption and users as a result of the awards.
- I don't want my achievements and other numerical information on the application form to be available to the public?
-
The information in the Achievements column is treated as confidential outside the jury. Only if the information in the Achievements column is included in the Appeal to Users section, the download and sales figures may be used for the purpose of explaining the product to the general public.
- We are in a prototype state between application and judging, but can we apply if we plan to launch or release our product before the end of the year?
