Accepting the invitation to judge
When the judging invite has been sent, judges will receive an email containing an activation link. Upon clicking the link, judges will need to log in.
- If the judge already has an Evessio account, they can use their existing password.
- If the judge has forgotten their password they can use the Forgotten password link.
- If the judge does not yet have an Evessio account, they will be asked to create a password and accept the event's Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.
The judge will then be asked to accept the role of Judge:
Once the role has been accepted, judges will now see the Judging section of the logged in area, and begin to work on their assignments.
Judging assigned categories
To begin judging, navigate to Awards > Judging on the left side of the screen, and click on the judging round to begin.
- A green circle beside the name of the judging round indicates that the round is open for judging.
- A grey circle beside the name of the judging round indicates that the round is closed.
A countdown is displayed indicating the remaining days that judging is open.
Below, the category or categories assigned to the judge are displayed, how many submissions are in each category, and the percentage of the work completed.
Then, the list of submissions are displayed in a table, showing the nomination name, the status of whether it has been judged, and the score given.
