What is Untap?
Untap is a software that allows organizations to easily and quickly plan, launch, and manage online prize-based competitions, hackathons, open innovation challenges, accelerator & incubator programs, scholarship programs, grants programs, and other forms of calls for applications.
It streamlines the process of building a dedicated website, receiving and managing submissions, engaging with the participants, and evaluating the submissions.
Untap also provides an innovative rounds system; enabling program organizers to manage the whole funnel of their program in one place, qualifying participants from one round to the next.
The software provides a website builder for setting up and customizing a website for the call for applications that can include any relevant content. The website also includes an “Apply Now” page for interested participants to sign up (or login) to their accounts and make a submission. Interested participants can sign up to access their dedicated account and be able to submit their applications and monitor status updates regarding their submissions.
In addition to the website, Organizer(s) receive access to a dedicated account on Untap. The account enables the Organizer to create new calls for applications and manage existing ones.
Organizer(s) manage the whole process on their dedicated Untap dashboard. They build the application form, customize the landing page, and monitor the submissions. They can send invitations to Judges in order to access a dedicated account and be able to evaluate assigned submissions.
Every call for applications on Untap consists of at least one submission round. The first round of a call for applications would usually be open to anyone to apply. The round requires a submission form for interested participants to fill out.
It can also have an evaluation form with predefined evaluation criteria - each with an assigned weight - for judges to fill out. Those with the highest average scores are usually selected as round winners; they qualify for the next round.
The submission form and the evaluation form are both fully customizable. Submissions can include any number of PDF documents, images, and/or videos. Attachments can be of an unlimited size.
Feedback from the Judges can be visible to the Participants on their accounts if required.
