Your programmes live in six different places<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The awards run on a Google Form with scores in a spreadsheet. The grant round uses email submissions with PDFs forwarded to five reviewers. The open call is on a legacy platform with a contract you can’t escape until September.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zealous replaces all of it.<\/strong> Every programme – awards, grants, open calls, residencies, fairs, commissions – runs through one platform. Same login, same dashboard, same support team. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Add new programmes without paying more.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Judges don’t finish, and you can’t tell who’s lagging<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Two weeks before the deadline, half your panel hasn’t logged in. You’re sending polite emails that get politer every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real-time progress tracking shows exactly where each reviewer stands. Automated reminders nudge anyone who hasn’t started – branded with your identity. Reviewers pick up where they left off, on any device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Learn how to structure rounds and manage panels in our post on planning your selection process<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We were able to deal efficiently with a much higher number of submissions than anticipated. We will use Zealous again and would certainly recommend them to other organisations<\/p>\n\n\n\n
