It is that time
of the year again to collectively recognize all the heroes of the world for
their positive accomplishments. Welcome to the Daily Positive (D+) World’s Most
Positive Countries 2013 (WMPC'13)! WMPC is in its third year and this
year it is back with more enthusiasm and excitement.
The annual
event to reveal the top 10 World’s Most Positive Countries recognizes the
countries with the most positive initiatives and actions. D+, a non-profit
media initiative from Melbourne, Australia that publishes and accumulates
positive news from all the countries of the world, introduces this list of
countries. D+ introduces the list based on positive events, such as, business
developments, peace projects, sports achievements and scientific innovations
accomplished during the current calendar year inside the countries and in the
global stage.
The United States of America and
Australia topped the list of the most positive countries in 2012 and 2011
respectively.
The aim of the
WMPC'13 is to recognize the countries with most positive initiatives and
actions in 2013. WMPC'13 is officially included in the City of Melbourne's
event calendar as a part of Melbourne's effort to become the Knowledge City of
the World.
The list is generated based on a
pre-defined Positivity Index. The Positivity Index quantifies positive
achievements, initiatives and actions accomplished by each country of the
world. According to the index, each country is assigned a score based on the
followings:
1. External expert panel rating. These panel members do not
work for D+ in any form and are selected based on their individual expertise
from around the world. Each panel member will select ten countries. The top
most country in each list will score 10 points and the last country in each
list will score 1 point. Apart from that these panel lists will also work as
benchmark to ensure that our social media fan rating is not biased.
2.
Internal D+
volunteer-journalist panel rating. Like the external panel this panel members
will also select ten countries individually. The top most country in each list
will score 10 points and the last country in each list will score 1 point.
3.
D+ social media fan
rating. Each vote will carry 1 point. Anyone can vote with a valid email
address. In case of multiple votes from same email address only the first vote
will be retained.
4. The Country pages on D+ with most number of positive news
from 2013 will score higher points. Each published news that took place in 2013
will carry 10 points.
Each country
will score a total from each of the above categories which will then be added
together to compute the final results. The country with the highest total
points is considered the most positive country. Ten countries in all will be
ranked - the most to the tenth most positive countries.
The list will
be revealed on 1 November 2013 and the award ceremony will be held on 25
November 2013 at the University of Melbourne, Australia.
Everyone can participate in the WMPC'13 initiative and vote
for their positive-country. For more information on the World’s Most Positive Countries 2013 initiative visit
