CHECKING - IN
WITH THE ITS
tutors wanted to give the opportunity for
students to share their interpretations of
the provided picture through prose (500
to 700 words) or poetry ( a minimum of
12 lines).
On April 10th, which was the
submission deadline, 10 original entries
were received. Thereafter, a two-phase
eliminatory process was carried out to
determine the winners:
A jury board comprised of other
international tutors carried the first
round of the winners’ selections. As the
jury’s votes were worth 60%, all
submissions who have received at least 1
vote from one of the jury members were
able to move on to the second and final
selection round.
4 contestants moved to the second
round, and for this year, the organisers
adopted a new approach to select the
winners. In fact, have allowed students
to vote for their favourite compositions
on both Facebook and Instagram
(@ASLLC), and students were quite
responsive in this regard. Eventually, the
final
winners’
selection
was
a
combination of the initial tutors’ votes
IT Magazine / April Issue
which were worth 60% of the final
decision and the students’ votes on
social media, which were worth 40% of
the final decision. The votes were closed
on April 15th and after calculating all the
votes, the winners were as follows:
Winner (1): Onuoha, Gloria Chioma
1st runner up (1): Kyaw, May Yamon
2nd runner up (1): Ng, Ching Man
Honourable mentions (2):
Hu, Diqin & Lo, Shi Yu
The event was fairly successful and
the organisers would like to warmly
thank all parties who were involved in
both the organisation and the voting
processes. dfff
