Setting Up a Jury: Rounds, Rubrics & Blind Review

A rigorous jury process ensures fair, transparent evaluation of submissions. Crafted Call's jury tools let you invite multiple jurors, define scoring criteria, run multi-round evaluations, and optionally hide artist identity for unbiased review. This guide walks you through setting up a jury from start to finish.

Accessing the Jury Tab

Navigate to Calls → [Your Call] → Jury. This is your jury command center. You'll see tabs for:

• Jurors: Manage who's evaluating
• Rubric: Define scoring criteria
• Rounds: Set up evaluation stages
• Scores: View results and decisions

Inviting Jurors

Your jury can be 1 person (you, the curator) or many (professional jurors, peer artists, community members). The process is the same.

Step 1: Add jurors Click Invite Jurors. You'll see a form to enter juror information.

Step 2: Enter juror details

• Name: Full name (visible to other jurors and you)
• Email: Where the invitation link is sent
• Role (optional): "Lead juror", "Community panelist", etc. Helps organize who's voting
• Conflict of Interest note (optional): If you know they have conflicts in advance, note them here. The juror will be prompted to declare conflicts when they start evaluating.

Step 3: Select assignment mode How will jurors see submissions?

• All jurors see all submissions: Every juror evaluates every work. Good for small calls (under 100 submissions) or when you want consensus scoring.
• Distributed evaluation: Submissions are divided among jurors. Each juror evaluates a subset. Faster for large calls, but you don't get consensus per work.
• Manual assignment: You choose which juror evaluates which submission(s). Useful for specialized expertise (e.g., one juror is a photographer who only scores photo submissions).

Step 4: Send invitation Click Send Invite. Crafted Call emails the juror a unique link. They click it, create a Crafted Call account (or log in if they have one), and gain access to the jury interface for this call.

They don't need a full Crafted Call account; the jury access token is temporary and call-specific.
