Dapple

A smart platform to manage awards, contests and applications

March 19, 2026 The future of application management is here...

If you’ve ever tried to run an award, contest, open call, or any kind of submission or application process, you probably know the drill: scattered emails, messy spreadsheets, a mixture of forms, reviewers working in different places. If you’ve got software, it’s probably clunky, expensive and built in the 2000s.

Dapple is our answer to that.
It’s a smart, simple platform that brings everything into one place. With beautiful forms for collecting applications, intuitive tools for organising, review panels for scoring, voting and feedback and easy ways of communicating with applicants, it removes the admin chaos.

Who’s it for?

Built by creatives for creatives, Dapple is aimed at arts organisations, publishers, non-profits, creative institutions - small teams doing big, meaningful work. We wanted to build a tool that would break the mould of a dry, corporate-based application system and create one that was sleek, intuitive, transparent, and fun to use.
