Run judging without the spreadsheets and the chasing.
Load your submissions, build your scoring system, invite judges and pick your winners in one place. Sell scorecards to submitters for extra revenue, then carry your categories, scorecards and pay rates into next season.
One place for the whole season, from the first entry to the last award.
Keep collecting submissions the way you do now.
No need to move your festival or retrain your submitters. Export a CSV from wherever your submissions come in and drop it in. FilmScorecard matches the columns, flags duplicates and shows you the full batch before anything saves.
- Works with any tool that exports a CSV
- Duplicates flagged before they land
- Fix a bad row without opening a spreadsheet
Every judge scores against the same card.
Build a scorecard for each category with your own criteria and written sections. Creative and technical scorecards sit side by side, so each judge files the one their role covers.
- Your own criteria, per category
- Written notes for every submitter
- One library shared across your festivals
Stop chasing judges by email.
Invite the judges you already work with, or post an open call and let judges from anywhere apply. Your directory lists every judge open to invitations, with their genres, their on-time record and whether they have judged for you. You see what each judge has filed, and no judge ever sees another judge's scores.
- Open calls with pay set per category
- Three creative judges per film by default
- A film a quiet judge holds goes back to the queue after 48 hours
Import your submissions, build your scorecards and invite your judges.
Set up your season in the betaAsk what is late, who is behind or what breaks a rule.
The assistant reads your live season data and answers in plain language. Ask it for a change, such as a reminder to judges or a flag on an entry, and it drafts a proposal. Nothing changes until you review it and apply it.
- Answers from your live season data
- Every change waits for your approval
- It never scores or judges a submission
Always know where judging stands.
See what is scored, what is still outstanding and what is waiting for your approval. When scoring closes, ranked standings by category give you the shortlist your selections come from.
- Progress by category and by judge
- A coordinator approves every scorecard
- Shortlist and select from the standings
Every award decided in the same place as judging.
Set up awards such as Best Original Music and choose which categories are eligible. Submissions enter an award's pool on a judge's recommendation or by your pick, and you name the winner and any honorable mentions from there.
- Add any eligible submission by hand
- Judges recommend submissions for awards
- A winner or co-winners per award, honorable mentions optional
Follow judging, pick your winners and decide every award in the same season.
Run your next season in the betaLet scorecard sales help pay your judges.
Submitters can buy their scorecard for $29.99: every score, the breakdown and each judge's notes. Or comp any submitter's scorecard for free.
- $29.99 per scorecard, $22.49 for each extra category
- Nothing is sold before your coordinator approves it
- Paid out to your bank through Stripe
Next season starts already set up.
When a season closes, start the next one from it. Categories, scorecards, pay rates and awards carry forward, so next year starts where this one finished.
- Start from any past season and adjust its rules
- Past seasons stay archived with their results
- Run several festivals from one organization
