The second edition of the Stremio Addon Contest is now over, and it’s time to announce the winners.
This year, we received an overwhelming number of entries, and the judging process was particularly challenging.
In fact, during the judging process, we decided to award two additional prizes to addons that caught our eye: an Innovation Prize, and a Clean Code & Best Practices Prize. These two prizes are of $200 (or its equivalent in Bitcoin) each, in addition to the $5,000 prize pool.
Congratulations to all the winners! Our team will get in touch with you next week to arrange the prizes payout.
The judging process
In order to decide the winner of the Stremio prize, a jury panel of 3 Stremio team members reviewed and evaluated all of the addon submissions. They evaluated them based on number of criteria, such as overall performance, code cleanliness, content quality, etc. Later on the entire Stremio team had a vote as well, and this vote contributed to the decision.
We wish we could give a prize to everyone who participated but unfortunately that is not possible..
The Community vote prizes were decided based on the vote from our community members.
Once again – congratulations to all winners and participants. Stay tuned for next year’s contest!
Stremio Radio last commit is in the 17th april 2019. Means the whole addon developed till 17th april but the competition started later. May I enquire about the entry of these addons as stated following :
1.StremioRadio 17th april (In the website it is mentioned that that date is feb 18- may 20 so I guess it is fine)
2. Vimeo the repository was created in last year and many of the work was done.
3. Same for the 60 second news (Which is a great addon )
I consider this to be impartial for other participants to be partial.
I would like you to have your insights on it and take your own decision.
Thanking You
Your’s Faithfully
Hi Anon,
There was no explicit rule as to when the add-on should of been made. With that said, the add-on contest was initially announced on March 04 on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Stremio/comments/axa7py/stremio_addon_contest_2019_win_5000_in_prizes/
Stremio Radio’s first commit was on April 17 and for 60 Second News it was on March 31, which means both projects were started after our announcement. Vimeo is the only one on your list who’s first commit was indeed before that.
Whether or not it is ethical or not to disregard add-ons on which development started before the competition announcement or activity period is not for me to say, but I can promise you that we will take your comment into consideration when creating next year’s competition rules.
We thank you for sharing your thoughts. Developer opinions and contest feedback are very important, as they help us fine tune the competition rules and our add-on system to fit the needs and avoid the worries of our community.
I also feel that there are inconsistencies in the evaluations because one of the things that is mentioned is that the quality of the code and the efficiency would be evaluated.
My plugin was created with high-level programming, object-oriented with failover reclining, database storage and information caching allowing this to be very quick to respond. Also integrate mechanism so that the database of movies will be filled automatically.
And with all this I did not even want to be in the list of honorary mention.
Hi there,
Only add-ons that didn’t win a prize got an honorary mention. Yours was awarded a prize, this is why it wasn’t on the list.
The Very best movies
