Dapple

Dapple is an intelligent, web-based submission management platform for organisations that run grants, awards, fellowships, residencies, contests and open calls. It brings every submission, review and decision into one place, replacing the forms, spreadsheets and email threads most teams rely on today. AI takes care of the time-consuming admin so your team has more time for applicants and for the human side of review.

It's a modern alternative to platforms like Submittable, Award Force, Zealous, SlideRoom and Acceptd: quicker to set up, easier to use and more affordable, with AI built in from the start.
