VOTING OF JURY AND READERS

Voting in the Fourth Round will be conducted by Mili Dueli Jury and readers.

1. Mili Dueli Jury

Voting rules of the international jury Mili Dueli 2020

  • In each duel vote: Organizer, Mentor / s and Additional member / s of the jury. The total number of jury members in each duel is 7.
  • ORGANIZER: In each duel of the 4th round, the organizer votes. The organizer gives double Eurovision points. He observes the authors and their work for several months and rewards the authors and their poems with his points. By a detailed analysis of the poem and the author’s presentation so far, the Organizer will explain each of his votes.
  • MENTOR(S): In each duel there are authors to whom Mentors have been given. Each author has one Mentor. The mentor has been assigned to the author by the Organizer. If the author and Mentor are not interacting well during the selection of poems, the author can contact the Organizer for help. The goal of mentoring is to establish cooperation and literary interaction between the authors of the region. In one duel (eg. a duel of authors from Bosnia and Herzegovina), the role of mentor can be played by several members of our jury, so that some members of the jury are Mentors to a certain number of authors. One author can never have two or more Mentors. When voting, Mentor gives Eurovision points. At the same time, the Mentor evaluates all the authors who participated in that duel, not only the ones he/she mentored. The work of the Mentor is based on volunteering and represents the good will of renowned writers from the Balkans and the earlier winners of the Mili Dueli.
  • ADDITIONAL JURY MEMBER(S): Additional members of the jury are not Mentors. They will read all the poems of the authors of the duel and vote completely independently of the opinion of the other members of the jury. Their number in duels is variable and depends on the number of Mentors in a particular duel. If it is a duel of Bosnian authors, they have a total of 3 Mentors + Organizer, and since each duel must have 7 members of the jury, Additional jury members in this duel is 3. Also, in the case of a duel of authors from Romania, where there is only 1 Mentor + Organizer, in order to achieve a figure of 7 members of the jury, 5 more Additional members of the jury were appointed. Additional members of the jury vote with points 0, 1, 2 and 3. These points Additional members of the jury can share according to the impression after reading the poems, without rules on the number of repetitions of a particular point. Thus, for example, all authors can receive 3 points, but also 0 points, or the points can be divided as the Additional member of the jury considers to be objectively fair.

Jury schedule by duels:

Mili Dueli 2020 – Jury by duels. There is 16 duels. In every duel, organizer will judge (rose field). Every duel also has its mentors (blue fields) and Additional jury members (yellow field). The conclusion is that every duel will have 7 jury members and this is their names and roles.
