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. Dapple streamlines your entire opportunity from collecting entries, through different rounds, managing voting to a final judgement. No more hastily cobbled-together Google forms, messy spreadsheets and overflowing inboxes. And worries. They disappear too.
