Set Up Your Jury

This is the first step in configuring your jury. 

• Select Rolling Jury if you accept applications and jury on a rolling basis. Events with ongoing or
  flexible deadlines most often use this type.
  

• Select Traditional Jury if you do not accept applications after jurying begins. 
  

• Select Jury Buddy if you use the ZAPP add-on and equipment for an in-person projected jury.

• Select yes to allow applicants to make purchases and see their application statuses while jurying is underway.

• Select no to restrict purchases and hide applicants’ statuses.
  

  Note: Selecting No will prevent artists from checking out for any fees, including application fees.

Applications will be sorted within each medium category in the selected method: 

• Application ID: Sorted ascending by application ID (app IDs are generated when an applicant starts their submission) 

• Artist Last Name: Sorted ascending by primary applicant last name.   

• Application Received: Sorted from earliest to latest date submitted

• Random: Statistically random; the order of applicants will shuffle automatically with each new jury round. 

Select Slideshow for Desktop Display to display images individually in a slideshow with a body of work scorecard at the end of each applicant image set. 

• 🖥️ Ideal for zooming in/out to see image details and remote jurying.
  
  

Select List for Projection Display to display images in a list format, where artwork thumbnails and scoring options display together.  

• 📽️ Ideal for large juries using Jury Buddy and equipment to project images onto a wall or projector screen.

Choose from 1-5, 1-7, 1-10, or yes/no/maybe.

Choose low to high or high to low. The display will not affect the numerical value. 

Note: Displaying low to high is the most accessible option.

Toggle on or off these settings to control what information shows to jurors: 

• Body of work: Adds a slide with thumbnails of the applicant’s images. When added, the juror sees: body of work slide >> each individual image >> scorecard. 

• Artist Name: Displays full name. 

• Artist Statement: Displays applicant’s statement of technique. 

• Artwork Description: Displays artwork descriptions for each image, when available. Artwork descriptions are optional for artists.

• Price: Displays individual prices of each artwork submitted.

Note: At least one application must be in the Received status for scorecard to generate.
