Problem
Teams running one-off programs such as awards, hackathons, and grants often fall back on spreadsheets, inboxes, and forms, leading to scattered scores and frantic manual reconciliation. Most competition tools charge per submission or per program, so successful campaigns with high participation create budget problems. Custom microsite builds and procurement cycles can consume weeks of a promotional window for an event that runs only once.
Solution
Untap Compete provides an end-to-end competition and awards platform that handles landing pages, applications, judging, and results without requiring developers or separate tools. Program managers can pick a template, brand the page, build forms, and set eligibility rules, then launch in a day self-serve or in under an hour with team assistance. The platform uses AI to pre-screen submissions for eligibility and quality, while human juries score against weighted rubrics across multiple rounds. It supports unlimited submissions, unlimited programs, and unlimited judges at a flat price with no per-entry fees, ensuring that viral campaigns and quiet ones cost the same.
Target Audience
Primary customers include program managers, marketing and CSR leads, university administrators, nonprofit teams, and event organizers who run time-bound competitions, awards, grants, and challenges.
