One of the biggest value adds for me is the experience that I get from the people at Submittable. Yes, we take a lot of advantage of the tool itself, but every single time I, or anyone else, has had questions, we always get a quick, logical solution to our problem.

Secure and reliable

Submittable is built on a modern cloud infrastructure with privacy and security features designed to ensure the safety of your data.

Valuable connections

Submittable offers hundreds of integrations with your favorite applications and tools, and a custom API, to help you do more with what you already have.

The Submittable application itself is really great for conducting a contest, judging it, sorting submissions, and bulk emailing submitters. Plus, we're probably only using 10% of what Submittable is capable of.

Submittable's understanding about competitions and challenges was really helpful—it took certain work off of our plate so we could focus on other aspects of the Challenge.

Our biggest challenge before Submittable was tracking applications, manually entering data, reviewing documents, and preparing for panel review with online forms that required printing. After this year, we’ll no longer need paper archives.

If we’re putting something new up … I’ll have it done within an hour. Before Submittable it would have taken a couple days’ worth of planning.

Because Submittable is such an industry standard, we made the decision to completely switch over from paper applications.
