Zealous makes taking submissions as simple as possible by automating actions during the life-cycle of your opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your opportunity will first be drafted and then published. Once the opportunity is published, the automated lifecycle will begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Draft<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n The draft step is triggered when the opportunity is created and none of the information is public until your open call is published. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Publish<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n This step is triggered once you click the publish button and the opportunity will be shared on out opportunity page if you make it public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The status of your opportunity<\/a> on Zealous at this point will depend on when your submissions open. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can now begin to market your call to encourage submissions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Submissions Open<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n This step is triggered automatically based on submission dates in your schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Submissions will automatically open<\/a> as soon as the submissions open date is reached, and will continue to be opened until the closing time is reached<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can edit most of the details for your opportunity even once submissions have opened, with a few exceptions<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Selection<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n This step is triggered automatically for each round in your schedule.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve invited judges, they will be able to start scoring entries at this point<\/a>, if you haven\u2019t you can begin making your selection for the current round<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the round announcement date passes, this will automatically start the next round. If this was your last round this will terminate the process of selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Closed<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you have manually confirmed your final selection and the final announcement date is reached, the opportunity will be closed. You can duplicate<\/a> this opportunity to save time in the future. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These actions depend on how you set up your call, such as how many rounds you have, and whether you invite judges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are some examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Single round opportunity without judges<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Single round opportunity with judges<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Single round opportunity with judges<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
