Forms adapt to any programme type. Automated emails keep candidates informed without manual work. The applicant portal shows submission history across years. Multi-round judging with weighted criteria lets you screen thousands of entries down to 10 finalists customised to your selection process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visual presentation transforms judging. Gallery view shows 20 submissions on screen simultaneously. Judges compare work side by side instead of clicking through entries one by one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-background-color has-background\"><em>&#8220;All of the judges who took part in the process praised Zealous for its sleek design, easy navigation and overall ease.'&#8221;<\/em>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/zealous.co\/?p=41537\">Imogen Bakelmun, UCL<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"671\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 957 \/ 671;\" width=\"957\" autoplay controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/10\/selecting-entries-1-video.webm\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">Unlimited programmes under one subscription<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Where competitors charge \u00a33,000 per programme, Zealous adds programmes at zero cost. Run 10 programmes or 1 &#8211; same price. Only completed entries count against your limit. Drafts are free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One subscription covers any type of programme. A university runs student awards in spring, research grants in summer, innovation challenges in autumn. All under one account. Entries pool together &#8211; your 1,000 submission Pro plan would support 600 entries to an annual awards, 300 quarterly grants and 100 rolling applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">Monthly billing without lock-in<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pay for what you use. Summer photography prize? Pay for the three months you need. Annual commitment available for 33% discount, but never required. You can cancel your subscription at anytime, and resume when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Test everything free before paying. Build your complete programme. Upload 20 real submissions for free. Run practice judging with colleagues. Only pay when you go live.

Architects upload full portfolios. Photographers submit without compression. Lossless processing preserves every detail while reducing storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Video plays in-browser during judging. No downloads, no codec confusion. Vimeo and YouTube embed directly. 3D models, audio files, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-base-background-color has-background\"><em>&#8216;I cannot express how delighted I am with Zealous.

Most programmes don&#8217;t need mathematical scoring proofs &#8211; those that do should consider Evalato.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The subscription-plus-commission model takes more calculation than flat fees. Finance teams wanting one simple annual invoice might prefer per-programme pricing. Monthly billing suits most organisations better, but it&#8217;s still multiple payments to track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-base-2-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-348747f7d4aaea03920300d4a18cd96f has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-09244646 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:8px;background:linear-gradient(103deg,rgba(242,145,160,0.7) 0%,rgba(187,215,242,0.73) 70%);margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-contrast-color has-base-2-background-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-d0f512da3b16f0f3a65f7ebd4787a58e has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-217f31c7 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-radius:8px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\">\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center has-contrast-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-cddca51ceabba3622be9a9fa780732a5\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0.2rem\"><span class=\"wp-rich-text-font-awesome-icon wp-font-awesome-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"desktop\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-desktop \" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 512 512\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M64 32C28.7 32 0 60.7 0 96L0 352c0 35.3 28.7 64 64 64l144 0-16 48-72 0c-13.3 0-24 10.7-24 24s10.7 24 24 24l272 0c13.3 0 24-10.7 24-24s-10.7-24-24-24l-72 0-16-48 144 0c35.3 0 64-28.7 64-64l0-256c0-35.3-28.7-64-64-64L64 32zM96 96l320 0c17.7 0 32 14.3 32 32l0 160c0 17.7-14.3 32-32 32L96 320c-17.7 0-32-14.3-32-32l0-160c0-17.7 14.3-32 32-32z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span> Demo<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center cta_text content_mid_cta has-link-color has-large-font-size wp-elements-7e6daed172949a45a494aa3114f39d39\" style=\"line-height:1.4\">Experience Zealous with a customised demo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-a89b3969 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button primary-cta\" id=\"host-book-demo-mid-cta\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-custom-font-size wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/zealous.co\/about\/newsletter\/submit-opportunity\/\" style=\"font-size:clamp(0.875rem, 0.875rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.156), 1rem);\"><span class=\"wp-rich-text-font-awesome-icon wp-font-awesome-icon\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" focusable=\"false\" data-prefix=\"fas\" data-icon=\"calendar-days\" class=\"svg-inline--fa fa-calendar-days \" role=\"img\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path fill=\"currentColor\" d=\"M128 0c17.7 0 32 14.3 32 32l0 32 128 0 0-32c0-17.7 14.3-32 32-32s32 14.3 32 32l0 32 32 0c35.3 0 64 28.7 64 64l0 288c0 35.3-28.7 64-64 64L64 480c-35.3 0-64-28.7-64-64L0 128C0 92.7 28.7 64 64 64l32 0 0-32c0-17.7 14.3-32 32-32zM64 240l0 32c0 8.8 7.2 16 16 16l32 0c8.8 0 16-7.2 16-16l0-32c0-8.8-7.2-16-16-16l-32 0c-8.8 0-16 7.2-16 16zm128 0l0 32c0 8.8 7.2 16 16 16l32 0c8.8 0 16-7.2 16-16l0-32c0-8.8-7.2-16-16-16l-32 0c-8.8 0-16 7.2-16 16zm144-16c-8.8 0-16 7.2-16 16l0 32c0 8.8 7.2 16 16 16l32 0c8.8 0 16-7.2 16-16l0-32c0-8.8-7.2-16-16-16l-32 0zM64 368l0 32c0 8.8 7.2 16 16 16l32 0c8.8 0 16-7.2 16-16l0-32c0-8.8-7.2-16-16-16l-32 0c-8.8 0-16 7.2-16 16zm144-16c-8.8 0-16 7.2-16 16l0 32c0 8.8 7.2 16 16 16l32 0c8.8 0 16-7.2 16-16l0-32c0-8.8-7.2-16-16-16l-32 0zm112 16l0 32c0 8.8 7.2 16 16 16l32 0c8.8 0 16-7.2 16-16l0-32c0-8.8-7.2-16-16-16l-32 0c-8.8 0-16 7.2-16 16z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span> Book Demo<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\" id=\"what-competitor-does-well\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:0\"><strong>What Evalato Does Well<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">Multilingual support throughout<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Full multilingual capability from submission to judging. EU programmes run in 27 languages. Global corporations collect entries in local languages. Judges review in their preferred language. Email templates translate automatically. That being said their admin panel for the administrator is in English only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">Mathematical scoring precision<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Z-score normalisation corrects for judge bias mathematically. That judge who scores everything 3\/10? The system adjusts. Single Transferable Vote handles complex preferences. Weighted criteria calculate to three decimal places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Government tenders need this. Regulated industries must prove fairness algorithmically. Evalato provides the mathematical rigour these programmes demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">Quick launch, established patterns<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-built templates for business awards, innovation challenges, creative competitions. Standard structures mean less setup. If your programme fits their patterns, you&#8217;re live quickly. Something available on Zealous too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\" id=\"questions-worth-asking\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:0\"><strong>Questions worth asking of any platform<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Can you test judging with your actual content? Generic demos hide platform realities. Upload your files, run your judging process, see what breaks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s your real total cost? Get written quotes including VAT, setup fees, transaction charges. Calculate your programme mix. Some platforms quote ex-VAT &#8211; that&#8217;s could be 20% hidden cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do large files perform? Upload your biggest typical submission. Watch it play during judging. Can you upload video seamlessly? Does compression ruins architectural portfolios?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What happens with programme two? Per-programme pricing doubles costs instantly. Flat-rate platforms spread costs. Map two years of likely programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Can you modify everything yourself? And is it easy to change things as you go? Some platforms lock customisation behind enterprise tiers. Others give full control from day one. Support tickets for form changes waste weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What support exists during live judging? Email support fails when judges wait. Live chat fixes problems immediately. Know response times before committing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-x-large-font-size\" id=\"real-cost-examples\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:0\"><strong>Real Cost Examples<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-base-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-c385debf wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" style=\"font-size:clamp(1.039rem, 1.039rem + ((1vw - 0.2rem) * 0.701), 1.6rem);\">Small seasonal programme (50 entries)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Evalato:<\/strong> \u20ac1,900 exc.

Make it count. Gallery view respects their time &#8211; see 20 entries simultaneously, not one by one. They experience the entry, instead of process it with rich media presented to them like a portfolio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">Organisations running multiple programmes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple programmes transform the value equation. A foundation running quarterly grants saves thousands. Four programmes at \u00a33,000 each elsewhere = \u00a312,000 annually. Same volume on Zealous Pro = \u00a32,088.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Universities see the biggest savings. Student awards, research grants, innovation funds, departmental prizes &#8211; all on one subscription. Add programmes freely. Test new ideas without prices small enough to by-pass most budget approval processes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video height=\"877\" style=\"aspect-ratio: 1232 \/ 877;\" width=\"1232\" autoplay controls loop muted src=\"https:\/\/zealous.co\/wpadmin2\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2022\/10\/selecting-entries-video.webm\" playsinline><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">Seasonal or periodic programmes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Monthly billing matches natural programme rhythms. Architecture prize runs September to November? Pay for three months. Biennial award? Activate when needed. No dead months paying for inactive programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>New programmes test cheaply. Launch small, gauge interest, scale if successful. No annual contract forcing premature decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">Free-entry programmes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Zero commission on free entries changes grant economics.

Evalato&#8217;s multilingual platform removes them . EU-wide programmes, global awards, cross-border initiatives &#8211; applicants work in their language, judges in theirs (just be mindful that an entry submitted in Arabic presented to a Japanese judge could be problematic).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">Programmes requiring algorithmic scoring<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some programmes face scoring scrutiny.

Gallery view displays 20 entries simultaneously. Judges compare, discuss, decide while seeing everything. Live slideshow mode synchronises panel viewing. The focus: experiencing work together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evalato calculates scores mathematically. Z-score normalisation removes judge bias. Single Transferable Vote handles preference rankings. Detailed audit trails prove fairness. The focus: standardised evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both handle basics \u2014 scoring, comments, multi-round review. The difference is philosophy. Choose based on what matters to your judges.<\/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 hard is it to switch from Evalato to Zealous?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Mid-programme switches don&#8217;t work. Finish your current programme, build the next on Zealous. Run parallel while learning the new system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zealous helps migration with onboarding calls and live chat. Build everything free before paying. Most organisations report setup takes hours. Data export varies \u2014 ask both platforms what&#8217;s possible.<\/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 hidden costs should I watch for?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Evalato quotes exclude VAT &#8211; add 20% for real cost. Per-programme fees multiply. Check storage limits and video hosting charges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zealous shows all costs including VAT. Subscription covers unlimited programmes. Commission only on paid entries, capped at \u00a32. No setup fees, no surprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both charge payment processing separately (standard rates). Include these in budget calculations.<\/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 the platforms handle video and large files?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Zealous: 4GB limit with lossless compression. Full-quality video plays in-browser. Gallery view compares multiple videos simultaneously.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evalato: 20MB on Grow tier (documents only). Pro tier adds video hosting \u2014 verify quality settings. Compression might affect judge experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Test with your actual content. Film awards and architecture competitions need different specs than business awards.<\/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 support do I get during my awards programme?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Zealous: Live chat support plus onboarding calls (Pro tier+). Immediate help when judges are waiting. Email backup for non-urgent queries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evalato: Email support with varying response times. Knowledge base for self-service. Check phone availability at your tier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Match support level to programme stakes. High-profile awards need immediate assistance. Internal programmes might manage with email.<\/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 these platforms handle grant programmes?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Both handle grant selection well. Zealous&#8217;s zero commission on free entries suits grant programmes perfectly. Quarterly rounds pool under one subscription. Multi-round review enables proper screening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Neither handles post-award grant management. No contract generation, milestone tracking, or disbursement. Both stop at selection \u2014 you&#8217;ll need other systems for grant administration.<\/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>Are these platforms just for creative or visual awards?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>No. Zealous serves law firms, universities, councils, corporations across every type of programme. Visual presentation helps all awards, not just creative ones. Business awards benefit from seeing all candidates together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evalato built for general use from the start. Their mathematical scoring suits any sector. Both platforms handle the complete awards cycle regardless of industry.<\/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>Which platform works better for organisations with multiple award programmes?<\/strong><\/h3><div class=\"aioseo-faq-block-answer\">\n<p>Zealous explicitly built for multiple programmes. Unlimited programmes, pooled entries, one subscription. A foundation with quarterly grants plus annual awards pays once for everything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evalato charges per programme. Three programmes = 3x cost. Their model suits single annual awards better than programme portfolios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Calculate your actual programme mix. Single award? Either works. Multiple programmes? Zealous saves thousands.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-base-background-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-c385debf wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--20)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\" id=\"sources\"><strong>Sources<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size\">Every claim in this article is sourced from public pages.
