Instead of juggling email, spreadsheets, and file-sharing tools, everything lives in one place. Zealous covers submissions, multi-round judging, payments, and result announcements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/zealous.co\/about\/insights\/best-award-management-software\/\" title=\"\">View a complete guide to awards management software here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\"><strong>Can we run multiple categories with different judges for each?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Yes. Assign judges by category or expertise for each round. A judge reviewing architecture entries won\u2018t see the writing category unless you want them to. You can run unlimited programmes on a single subscription, so separate awards series don\u2018t cost extra either.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\"><strong>How does multi-round judging work on Zealous?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Set up as many rounds as your programme needs: screening, longlisting, shortlisting, finals. Each round can have its own judges, criteria, and score ranges. Entries progress through rounds without manual transfers. Our guide on <a href=\"\/about\/insights\/awards-management-guide\/\" title=\"\">running awards programmes<\/a> covers this in detail.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\"><strong>What file types and sizes can entrants submit?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Entrants can upload images, video up to 4GB, audio, documents, and 3D models. They can also embed content from Vimeo, YouTube, and SoundCloud. Images use lossless compression, so judges see exactly what was uploaded. There are no storage restrictions or limits on files per entry.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\"><strong>Can judges review entries on their phone or tablet?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Yes. Zealous is fully responsive and works on any device. Judges can start on a laptop and continue on a tablet. For visual-heavy categories like photography or design, we recommend desktop for the larger screen. Judges resume exactly where they left off.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\"><strong>How do we keep judging anonymous and fair?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Anonymous judging mode hides entrant names and personal details automatically. Judges see only the submitted work and your defined criteria. Judges can skip entries they have a conflict of interest with. These features work together to protect the credibility of your results.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\"><strong>Can we announce shortlists and winners at different times?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Yes. Staged result announcements let you control exactly which rounds publish and when. Reveal the shortlist on your website this week and announce winners at the ceremony next month. Winner galleries are generated automatically from the submission content.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div data-schema-only=\"false\" class=\"wp-block-aioseo-faq\"><h3 class=\"aioseo-faq-block-question\"><strong>How does pricing work for awards programmes?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Pricing is based on submission volume, not the number of programmes or judges. All plans include unlimited programmes and unlimited support. Monthly billing with no lock-ins, or save 33% on an annual plan (starting April 2026).
