Awards and contests including the Seoul Smart City Awards inevitably recognize winners with entries that receive the highest scores after subjective evaluation of the jury panel. However, impartial winner selection which serves the purpose of a contest requires minimizing subjective assessment and a number of methodologies when aggregating and processing scores. This presentation will examine some methodological issues that arise in this process and cover how the Seoul Smart City Awards addressed these challenges. In particular, the presentation will focus on how the influence of ‘environmental factors of innovation’ – an element which has a significant impact on innovation performance but is hardly changed by the applicants’ efforts only – was controlled.
