Questions from institutions.
What happens to nominees who didn't win?
They stay in your awards network, tagged by round and year and ready for next year's jury. Every nominee remains part of the program's record.
How is this different from a CRM?
Artists own and update their own profiles, so the nominee network stays current without anyone chasing data. Artsume is built for the arts, so a profile carries career identity and portfolio rather than a name and an email address. Over several rounds that becomes an alumni layer you can use.
How do you manage jury panels?
Create jury pools, assign nominations to specific jurors, and track review progress. Set permissions so jurors see only their assigned submissions or enable collaborative review across the full panel.
Can we run multi-round selection?
Yes. Set up nomination, shortlisting, and final jury rounds. Move nominees through stages, notify shortlisted candidates, and track progress at every step. The full history stays.
Is Artsume free for award programs?
Yes. You can run award rounds for free, with no credit card. Artsume Pro for organizations ($500 a year) adds recommended artists, invitations to artists you find on Artsume, applicant fit, one promotion for each paid year, blind reviews and juries, and reports.
Can we follow a recipient's career after the award?
Yes. Recipients update their own profile, so the exhibitions and grants that follow appear on the record you already hold.
Does next year's jury see what the last one considered?
Yes. Every nominee, shortlist and score stays with the program. A new panel starts from the record instead of a blank page.
