Industry solutions

Dapple provides submission management software for open calls, awards, arts, contests and competitions, exhibitions, and academia. Full details are available on each dedicated solution page.

• Open Calls: Running an open call can be complex. With different submission types, deadlines, fees, review stages, and panels of judges or curators, keeping every moving part organised is essential for a successful process and a strong applicant experience.
• Awards: It’s awards season, something to be celebrated, not feared. Dapple makes it easy to run everything in one, easy-to-use platform, from creating an initial submission form to announcing the eventual winners. No more late-night panicked phone calls, questions, emails and clunky old software causing you a headache. Welcome to a sleek, fresh, all-in-one platform enabling you to both scale and relax. And the award for Most Chilled goes to…
• Arts: Whether it’s music demos, festivals, casting opportunities, or performance calls, we champion anything creative. Streamline the whole process from start to finish with one easy-to-use centralised platform.
• Contests & Competitions: Running contests and competitions in the creative industry can be beneficial for all parties. For organisations, contests build audience, attract high quality content, provide exposure, encourage community and offer the potential for an additional revenue stream. For creators, they provide the opportunity for industry recognition, portfolio development, networking, prizes, fame and fortune. Managing a contest with potential entry fees and multiple judges can be difficult without a dedicated platform to handle everything.
• Exhibitions: Whether you run exhibitions, residencies, fairs or commissions, using Dapple for your calls is a stroke of genius. Complicated application requirements? Entry fees? Several external judges? Multiple rounds? Various open and close dates? No worries - we’ve got you covered. Streamline the whole process from call to show in one easy-to-use centralised platform allowing you to focus on the more important things.
• Academia: Academia runs on ideas, rigour, and trust — but the tools being used by so many institutions to accept applications are often old, clunky and rigid in extremis. Dapple is built to support the more creative scholarly communities with a submission and review process that's structured, secure, and flexible to suit lots of different requirements. Whether you're managing research proposals, fellowships, conference submissions, or academic programs, Dapple makes it easy to collect applications, collaborate across committees, and move decisions forward without losing context or credibility. Less admin theatre, more time for thinking, reviewing, and advancing knowledge.
