According to the results of the popular vote, the participants with the largest number of votes will be marked in a special way in the Organizer's Personal Account. The organizer must confirm the victory of these participants and reward them.

The organizer can manually change the winner (for example, if it is impossible to contact the winning participant for the award or for another reason that does not violate the rules of the competition).

In order to more accurately assess the work, the organizer can set any number of criteria. Moreover, the criteria may be different within each competition category.

Add and remove jury members for expert evaluation of bids and forming a shortlist (a list of applications selected by jury members).

Appoint a Jury Chairperson to determine the winners from the shortlist in the last judging round.

1) Voting “yes/no/maybe”: the simplest and most popular type of voting. Works marked as "yes":
- advance to the next round,
- can be included in the shortlist by the organizer,
- can be determined by the platform as winners based on the maximum number of “yes” voters.

2) Rating (scoring) system: the work is evaluated from 1 to the maximum point set by the organizer.

The participant's entry goes through several stages, and their number depends on the settings of the competition by the organizer.
— Each participant's application must be moderated. A moderator from the organizing team filters out works that do not meet the requirements of the competition. Further, the work awaits the period in which the judge's assessment is carried out (or is placed in the gallery for viewing by site visitors and popular vote — depending on the settings of the competition).
— The shortlist is formed from works for which the jury members voted positively. The organizer sets the maximum number of entries in the shortlist. This round is optional, but it can significantly reduce the number of applications for the final round. This round can be repeated any number of times.
— The selection of winners and the appointment of prizes is carried out solely by the Chairman of the jury, or by a commission with any composition. It is possible to either conduct a vote or manually designate a winner.

For jury members, our platform provides a separate Personal Account with a wide range of tools for managing the process of expert evaluation of works:
— info panel,
— filters and sorting of the list of works,
— selection and comparison of works,
— a comment about the work for the organizer,
— review or feedback about the work for the author (the author will see the jury's comment after the end of the competition)

Accelerate the management of grades and voting results through automation:
— track the results of each round of judging in the Info Panel.
— automate the management of the order of the competition by setting the necessary parameters in the refereeing settings.

Streamline the process of accepting payments.

We take care of all questions regarding the acceptance of payments in accordance with the requirements of the legislation of the Russian Federation.

* For payments passing through the platform, a commission of the payment system and platform is charged.

Use the "online store" function to sell entries during and after the competition. The participant indicates his selling price and notes in his application that his work is available for sale. The organizer can add a commission in the amount of a certain percentage of the cost of the participant's work, or indicate his own selling price, which must not be less than the participant's price.
Each work in the online store is accompanied by two buttons "Pay for work" and "Book".

When the first button is pressed, the buyer fills out a small form with his contacts and delivery address, after which he is redirected to the website of the payment system to pay for the purchase. After payment, the work is automatically removed from the sale in the online store, so as not to be sold twice.

By clicking the "Book" button, the buyer fills out a small form with his questions to the author and / or the organizer regarding the work of interest to him, after which this work is removed from sale until the organizer opens it again for sale in his Personal Account. This is done so that there are no two buyers for a single job.

* For payments passing through the platform, a commission of the payment system and platform is charged

The platform has an agreement with a fiscal data operator (OFD), we accept payments in accordance with 54-FZ.

After each payment from the organizer or participant of the competition, the platform sends the online cash register data for generating receipts in accordance with the format of fiscal documents (FFD) 1.05. A copy of this check is sent to two recipients:
— to the tax office,
— to the payer.

The platform's functionality is simple not only for the organizers of the competition and its team, but also for the participants and jury members. Each user group has its own Personal Account with the necessary data, which are accompanied by detailed reference information.

Each competition is accompanied by an individual manager for operational consultations of the organizer team and jury members.

For participants, we provide a technical support service by phone, e-mail, in the website chat, in WhatsApp and Telegram messengers. This allows users to resolve their issues in real time.

The knowledge base helps users find solutions faster and gives them the knowledge they need.
