Jury Managing: Phase 4

The last phase of creating a successful Open Call experience

Jury ManagingRound Deadlines
  • Set a clear deadline for jury members to complete voting on each round

Voting Completion
  • All jury members are strongly encouraged to complete voting before a round closes
    • Voting is not required to advance a round, but incomplete voting can create scoring bias - applicants reviewed by fewer jurors are compared unevenly against fully-reviewed applicants
    • Incomplete votes can be filtered out if needed.
Scoring Criteria
  • Set a minimum score threshold for advancing to the next round
  • Before scoring begins, meet with jury members to calibrate what a low score (e.g. 3) vs a high score (e.g. 8) actually looks like
  • Decide in advance how you’ll handle ties at your cutoff

Documentation for Advancing Rounds
  • Scoring records
  • Full list of applications reviewed
  • Any public records/retention requirements specific to your institution or city
