Keep every nominee on the record.
Nominees, finalists and recipients all stay on one record that carries across years.
Used by artists working with
Institutions running programs on Artsume
Awards programs forget their own history
Most prize programs celebrate the winners and quietly lose everyone else. Each year's jury starts fresh, with no view of the program's own track record.
The old way
Past nominees lost to last year's spreadsheet
When the cycle closes, the list disappears. Next year's jury has no record of who you considered, shortlisted, or nearly selected.
No way to track recipients' career arcs
Once awarded, recipients vanish from view. There's no alumni layer, no career update channel, and no way to tell your program's impact story.
Each year's jury starts from zero
With no institutional memory of past nominees, every jury rebuilds context from scratch and repeats work the previous panel already did.
The Artsume way
Every nominee, finalist and recipient kept
Every name that enters your award stays in Your artists, tagged by round, year and outcome.
Recipient alumni tracking across years
Past recipients persist as a named alumni cohort. Track career developments, tag by award year, and tell the program's long-term story.
Multi-round nominee network for next jury
Last year's shortlist is this year's starting point. The network compounds with every round instead of resetting.
A prize that keeps its own history
Nomination through recipient alumni, on one record the next jury reads.
Every nominee and finalist preserved
Build a living record that spans every round and every year. No nominee ever falls through a spreadsheet crack again.
Recipient alumni tracking
Tag past recipients as alumni, track career arcs, and surface the program's long-term impact across cohorts.
Multi-round reusable network
Last round's shortlist becomes next round's starting point. The network grows stronger with every cycle.
Blind review
Anonymize submissions to reduce bias in adjudication. Give every nominee a fair evaluation on the merits of their work.
Multi-round selection
Configure nomination, shortlisting, and final jury rounds. Move nominees through stages with clear tracking at every step.

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 there a free plan or trial?
Yes. You can run your first award round for free. Paid plans cover larger programs and add advanced review features and alumni tracking. No credit card to get started.
