Here’s how to create and set up contests (or submissions) with online evaluation by judges:
1. Setup and Start Receiving Submissions
- Set the contest deadline and evaluation dates.
Contest > Settings - Configure the submission form. (See more details here)
Event > Setup > Registration Form - Add categories/topics.
Contest > Setup > Categories - Customize email messages and web page texts.
Contest > Setup > Pages
At this stage, you can optionally customize the following:
- Submission Page Header: Text that appears at the top of the submission page.
- Submission Completion Page: E.g., a page that says "Thank you for your submission."
- Reviewer View Submission: The page displayed for reviewers to review the submission.
2. Preparing the Evaluation System
- Define evaluation criteria.
Contest > Setup > Evaluation Criteria - Optionally, customize email templates.
Contest > Setup > Emails - Optionally, set terms that reviewers must agree to in order to view their assigned submissions.
Contest > Setup > Reviewer Terms - Set up the reviewers team.
Contest > Setup > Judging Team - Assign submissions to reviewers.
Contest > Setup > Assign - Send invitation emails to reviewers to start the evaluation.
Contest > Setup > Judging Team > Send Invitation

This step can be skipped initially but must be completed before evaluations begin.
3. Reviews, Final Decisions, and Result Announcements
- Go to Contest > Reviews.
- Results for each submission will be automatically sent to the participants.
- Submission Link: To embed the submission form on your website, go to Contest > Link.
- Team Roles:
- Reviewers: Can access and score submissions. They can leave comments for Supervisors and Admins, and for Participants only after Admin approval. They can also suggest category changes.
- Category Supervisors: Can access, score, change categories, and make final decisions.
- Chief Editor: Can perform all the actions above, as well as modify message templates for result announcements and send emails to participants and supervisors.
