Blind Review for Unbiased Evaluation
Enable anonymous review to ensure applications are evaluated solely on their merit. Hide artist names, locations, and other identifying information during review.
- Anonymous reviewer IDs replace artist names
- Configurable field hiding (name, email, phone, location)
- Organization admins retain full visibility
Blind Review System
Ensure fair and unbiased evaluation with our blind review feature. Reviewers see only the work and application content, not the artist's identity.
How It Works
When blind review is enabled for an opportunity:
- Artist names are replaced with anonymous IDs
- Personal information is hidden from reviewers
- Only the work and application content are visible
- Organization admins can still see full information
