Customise

The flexibility of the portal allows clients to create a bespoke entry structure - which can be edited at any point, and at no cost - to suit both project and audience.

Brand

From the creation of a dedicated URL to the integration of brand-specific logos, fonts and images, ArtOpps allows clients to build individual opportunity pages which reflect and promote existing visual identity.

Submit

With a user-friendly interface that is simple and straightforward to navigate, ArtOpps allows users to submit artwork quickly and easily. Rules and Guidelines, FAQs and selection panel profiles are clearly displayed and downloadable content such as entry forms, labels and submission timetables is easily accessible.

Edit

A user's application will remain live until the moment that the deadline passes, allowing them to add content and make changes at any point throughout the call for entries period.

Vote

When a competition moves into the judging phase, the judging side of the portal comes into play. An unlimited number of selectors may use the portal at any one time, images/media are displayed clearly and accompanied by any information relevant to a submission, and there is also a facility to anonymise the entrants. A selector may review their choices at any point during the judging process.

Download

The portal allows for all content - for example personal data and image files - to be downloaded quickly and easily into a format that is easy to access and navigate.

Analyse

Statistics are available both throughout and subsequent to the call for entries period, providing data which can be used to direct/dictate press and marketing campaigns. Furthermore, the bespoke nature of the portal allows the client to control both the type and quantity - and therefore the value - of the data that is collected.

Client testimonials

Sarah Williams, Head of Programme, Jerwood Visual Arts Selector: JVA Artist Bursaries, 3-Phase and Jerwood Makers Open

ArtOpps is an efficient way of reviewing text-based proposals, image, video and sound content from a large quantity of submissions and can be used by multiple reviewers at once. Submissions can be rated in a way that makes the decision-making process much easier. I would highly recommend it as a platform.

Christopher Green, Artist First Prize Winner 2017: Lynn Painter-Stainers Prize

I have always found the process of entering prizes run via ArtOpps very straightforward and unproblematic. The practical arrangements are well organised, with good, helpful communication from start to finish.

Lisa Meaney, Producer, MK50 Celebrations - The Canal & River Trust MK50 Canal Residency

Parker Harris provided a bespoke site for our artist selection process, were excellent at responding to any queries and very nice people to work with! The ArtOpps site made the selection process extremely efficient and democratic, saving hours of my time as project manager. I would definitely recommend!

Neville Gabie, artist Selector: Jerwood Open Forest and MK50 Canal Residency

As a selector on two different occasions and responding on both to very large applications, ArtOpps proved to be excellent. It allowed very easy online access and the ability to rate each application in a straightforward manner. It was simple to return to the task of selection as often as I needed with the ability to look at images, sound, video, text and CVs with incredible ease as well as to review my evaluations. When it came to sharing and comparing with the rest of the selection panel, this common resource really helped save time and made the whole process efficient, democratic and transparent. I cannot imagine a better means of selection.
