Giving my input to the project Pageant ranking introduced by Prathmesh.
Here are the 15 parameters to judge and rank an international pageant.
1. Historical importance of the pageant
2. Global Impact / Media Influence
3. Number of countries participating each year
4. Production Value of the sub events and the finale show
5. Quality of the updates provided during the pageant quarantine
6. Quality of the winners crowned down the years ( i.e. Popularity they got during and after completing their reign)
7. Social Media popularity of the pageant
8. Diversity of winners produced
9. Quality of delegates participating each year
10. Transparency of the judging format and selection criteria for placement
11. Growth and progress shown by the pageant since its inception.
12. International exposure provided to the winners
13. Fairness of the results according to the judging criteria
14. Respect and Reputation earned globally down the line ( have there been serious and "genuine" allegations against the pageant)
15. Work done towards their said advocacy and the results produced.
Do suggest more factors if you think I missed something.
Once all the factors are listed together. They should be segmented into three categories
1. Parameters of highest importance
2. Parameters of medium importance
3. Parameters of lowest importance
This is just my thought. Thanx
