Create a competition

The new-competition form with name, location and date

  1. On the dashboard, click New competition.
  2. Fill in Name, Location, and Date.
  3. Click Create.

The competition is created in Created status with the standard entry-fee services already configured (see Registrations, fees & payments). Name, location, and date stay editable under Basic Information.

The competition workspace with the overview pane, stat tiles, timeline and next actions

Opening a competition takes you to its workspace. The left rail groups everything:

  • Overview: registration and payment counters, the lifecycle timeline, and a Next actions list, for example Collect outstanding payments or Start presentation.
  • Setup: Basic Information, Categories, Services, Judges, Payment Account.
  • People: Competitors and Payments.
  • Communication: Emails and Exports.
  • Results appears once voting has finished.

Two things in the header matter on every visit. The status badge next to the name shows where the competition stands: Created, Registration, In Progress, Voting Finished, Finished. The primary action button, top right, always offers the next lifecycle step; for a draft that is Start Presentation, used in Competition day.

Basic Information edits the name, location, and date. Payment Account selects the bank account competitors pay entry fees to; payment QR codes and payment matching use it.
