JURY VOTING IN ALTIN GÜVERCİN WAS DIGITALIZED

The grand final of the 26th Kuşadası Golden Pigeon Composition Competition, organized in cooperation with Aydın Metropolitan Municipality, Kuşadası Municipality and Kuşadası Altın Güvercin Culture, Art and Promotion Foundation (KUSAV), with Aşkın Nur Yengi as the guest of honor, will be held today at 21.00 in Kuşadası Özer Türk. It will take place at the Stadium.

JURY MEMBERS SWITCHED TO DIGITAL SYSTEM

Before the grand finale, all jury members came together to evaluate the competition and receive detailed information about the digitalization of jury voting this year. Pointing out that voting by taking notes on paper is slow and can sometimes lead to confusion, the jury members pointed out that this method will deliver the results faster and shorten the waiting time of the audience.

Competition General Coordinator and Jury President Ali Rıza Türker stated that they are happy about the continuity of the competition and its contributions to Kuşadası and said, “There is great interest in the competition from the music community and the people of Kuşadası. One of the important features of this year is that after 26 years, jury scoring will be done digitally. A tablet will be distributed to each of our 10 jury members, and all jury members will score between 100-30 in line with the software developed on the tablets. Points will be collected without wasting time. It is very important to speed up the scoring and not to make the scene wait too long. We will also adapt to technological evolution. We have introduced an innovation to the scoring system, which will be an example to the world. The points collected in the public vote are also treated as a jury member. The general total will also include public voting. "We invite all music lovers to follow the competition," he said.

Composer and arranger Ahmet Güvenç, the legendary name of Kurtalan Ekspres, said: “How nice that Altın Güvercin is being produced for the 26th time. This competition has always existed over time. It is very good that the jury vote was held because the voting we did with paper and pencil was taking a long time and the public was bored. It will be faster now. "We are waiting for everyone in the evening," he said.

Kuşadası Municipality Information Technology Manager Ertuğrul Temel said, “We came together with friends for a faster and error-free system and this program emerged. Even if a point is given by mistake, there is a chance to go back and renew the score. In the old practice, it was written on paper and collected again. We eliminated this, shortened the time and made it more accurate and transparent.” he said.

PUBLIC VOTING CONTINUES
