How does Zealous help with commissioning creative work?

Zealous helps organizations commission the right creative work without stress by broadening their search and enabling selection of work that genuinely engages their community. The platform provides a dedicated submission page without coding requirements, automates opening and closing of commission submissions, supports customizable submission processes and application forms, markets commissions through bi-monthly emails to the Zealous community, and offers award-winning support through help files, tours, and LiveChat.

How does Zealous improve the experience for commission applicants?

Zealous delights commission applicants by providing a streamlined application process that accepts diverse media types (images, videos, PDFs, 3D models), allows editing of entries until the closing date, shows real-time submission progress, sends automatic reminders to convert draft entries, saves time through project reuse functionality, and enables direct communication with candidates throughout the process.

How can Zealous help engage stakeholders and communities in the commissioning process?

Zealous facilitates stakeholder and community engagement in the commissioning process by capturing critical stakeholders' input through invited scoring, implementing anonymous judging to remove bias, enabling community voice through public voting features, providing downloadable PDFs for offline judging, offering mobile-friendly interfaces without requiring app downloads, and collecting newsletter signups from voters to build your audience.

What tools does Zealous provide for selecting the right work to commission?

Zealous streamlines the selection of commissioned work by centralizing all applicant information in one place, supporting selection across multiple rounds, automating result emails, providing quick filtering and search functionality for applications, offering an environmentally friendly paperless process, and presenting the best work first through average scores while allowing organizers to maintain control by confirming selections for each round.

* calculated income is approximate since:

our commission is “per transaction”, not “per submission”. If each submission requires it’s own payment then the above will be accurate, however if you bundle submissions in 3 for 2 deals the transaction costs will be smaller than those quoted above.
our income calculations do not take into account any tax you may owe in the region you operate in.
this calculation does not include payment gateway fees which are variable depending on the payment method of the candidate.
