Judging Criteria

Singapore Jewellery Association believes in a healthy & fair competition to develop & nurture budding talents. The comprehensiveness and level playing field offered to participants can be ascribed to the fact that entries are judged primarily on originality, creativity & market appeal.

Originality – Every design will be evaluated on the basis of its originality. Designs should not have been previously displayed or commercialised. Each judge will personally & individually scrutinise the designs to ensure their authenticity. Originality in technique and originality in concept and execution form an important judging factor.

Creativity – We love creativity. We know the difference that it makes. We encourage it!

It is difficult to bring out ones creativity when restricted by a client’s requirement. SJDA however, gives you this golden chance to break out & get the best inside you flowing on paper. Creativity in design & concept forms crucial judging criteria.

Market appeal – Your design will be judged on the basis of its practicality & market appeal. The Jury will evaluate the responsiveness of each design to the characteristics of target customers and requirements of the market. Its production-practicality, marketability & end-user appeal forms the basis of judging. Market appeal is the ultimate challenge for any designer & so it forms a key judging criteria.

Piso bid not a scam?

Weeks ago there was a new Bidding website called Pisobid.com, at first I am not believing on the product that was being bid online because of the low price being shown. I make a little research on  pisobid.com

Is there any similar auction site like Pisobid.com?

Yup, there is a similar auction site like Pisobid.com but most of them are located Internationally.

http://www.beezid.com/

http://www.ubid.com/

Pisobid.com is the first in the Philippines! PisoBid is the current and the only Philippine based piso auction site where anyone can participate online. BUT Unfortunately, minors are strictly not allowed.

My Hands-on with Pisobid.com
I observed that most winners said on their video gallery
http://www.facebook.com/video/?id=144637542266725
Most of them said that you need more patience if you really want an item to win,patience for what?
I find that you really need to watch your item being bid not wholeday but full 24 hours until the bidding ends.

Internet connection and computer speed play an important role On bidding in pisobid.com that is why it was advisable to have a good internet connection and computer specs because in pisobid.com every mili-seconds counts!

Is Pisobid.com a scam?

Well.. after I observe pisobid.com for One week..I can say that Pisobid.com is not a scam there things I observed on their fanpage:
http://www.facebook.com/pisobid
there are haters and supporters of Pisobid.com.
if this is a scam there are no supporters defending pisobid.com against haters.

Why there are haters?
maybe they have a hard time winning an item, peace!

Pisobid.com Is listening to you!
Remember the mega winner Manix? after He won I observed that pisobid.com implement new features that give chance to everybody specifically the diamond feature.

This is my opinion only my blog is not affiliated with Pisobid.com.
