Build the future of your society

A unified process from the moment you think about your program, to announcing your selection.

Launch in minutes (we mean it)

Don’t wait for a demo or waste time negotiating insanely expensive fees. Our fees are transparent and joining Zealous is as easy as creating an account. No onboarding is required, we’ll support you with on-page tours and help files, and for Pro members, we’ll do a quick audit of your program before you launch it to give you that additional peace of mind.

Customisable to your needs

Change the submission process to fit your exact needs. Create application forms, request files for quick visual reviews, set fees (if you have them) and ask them to confirm they have read your guidelines. Switch off and move any step to suit your exact needs.

Capture stories, not just data

Go beyond simple forms, with embedded images and media directly into your submissions. From a single image to a full portfolio, get the information that best enables your candidates to tell their full story so you and your judges can make robust decisions on who best to pick for your programs.

A fair and transparent selection process

Whether your judges are miles away or in the same room, Zealous creates a robust and transparent process that gives your jury the confidence to make decisions quickly through criteria scoring, round selection and commenting. Automated emails reminding them to score means less work for your admin, and a higher chance of judge participation.

Pay for what you need

We started Zealous because we wanted organizations to be empowered to create more opportunities for their members. Our services do not require annual contracts and grow and shrink based on your needs. We aim to save you time and cut on staff time to help you unlock resources to scale your impact supporting your members.
