Run your festival's submissions and judging in one place.
Bring in your entries, assign them to judges, watch the scoring land, and approve your selections. Your judges get a workspace built for the actual work.
132 submissions in judging
From a list of entries to a decided season.
Bring your submissions in
Import a CSV export from whichever platform takes your entries. FilmScorecard matches the columns, flags duplicates, and shows a full preview before anything saves.
Assign films to judges
Spread each category across your panel, three judges per film, and see who is loaded up and who has room. Reassign in a click when a judge goes quiet.
Review, then decide
Your coordinator reads every scorecard, returns anything thin, and approves the rest. Ranked results give you the shortlist your programming decisions come from.
Everything a judging season actually needs
One place for entries, panels, criteria, progress, and results. Run one festival or a dozen, season after season, without rebuilding your process each year.
Build a judging career, not a pile of spreadsheets.
One profile, one queue, every festival you work with. Say which categories and genres you want, take paid assignments from festivals that need your eye, and keep a record of the seasons you have judged.
Judge for more than one festival
Your profile is visible to every festival on FilmScorecard. Organizers looking for a documentary judge or a horror panelist can find you and invite you.
Paid assignments, tracked
Festivals set what an assignment pays. You see the rate before you accept, and what you have earned across the season in one place.
Set your preferences
Choose the categories and genres you want, cap how many films you take per round, and pause when your schedule fills up.
Watch, score, move on
Screener, criteria, and notes on one screen. Drafts save as you type, and you can pick a film back up on your phone between screenings.
Every score and every word of feedback is written by a human judge. No AI judging, ever.
Judges work blind. They cannot see each other's scores or comments while they write, so three opinions stay three opinions.
A judging coordinator reads and approves every scorecard before it reaches a submitter, and can return any scorecard to its judge.
Share the feedback with your submitters
Once your coordinator approves a scorecard, you can release it to the filmmaker as a formatted summary: scores, the breakdown, and every judge comment. Give it away, or charge for it and keep the revenue at prices you set.
This is a setting, not the point of the platform. Turn it off and FilmScorecard is simply how your season gets judged.
Set up your festival in five minutes
