Accept submissions on a rolling basis
Calls can now stay open with no deadline. Jurors review each submission as it arrives with a simple accept, waitlist, or reject vote, and admins watch a live tally and finalize decisions one at a time. Built for membership intake.
LaunchedJury teams
Blind jurying with automatic redaction
Turn on redaction for a call and identifying details in titles, descriptions, and statements are hidden from jurors automatically. A side-by-side review screen lets you check and adjust every redaction before jurors see the work.
LaunchedGallery admins and artists
Waive submission fees for the artists you choose
Set up waiver categories on any paid call: granted automatically by a person's role in your organization, verified by age, or claimed by artists on the honor system. Artists see the waiver right in the submission form, and every claim is kept on record.
