See PENTAS competition management in action
PENTAS connects the operational work that organisers usually spread across forms, spreadsheets, chat groups, email, scoring sheets, and separate certificate tools.
Registration and submissions
Track participant entries, required information, files, evidence links, categories, and registration status.
Jury coordination
Appoint reviewers, monitor assignments, and follow evaluation progress before moderation and award decisions.
Scoring and awards
Use configured rubrics, score summaries, award categories, and result publication workflows in one workspace.
Verified recognition
Prepare participant, jury, award, and special recognition certificates from governed competition data.
Flexible roles for your organising team
Give each person the right access for the competition they support. Institution membership and organiser permissions stay separate, so governance remains clear.
Competition management for universities, schools, government, and organisations
Start from the audience closest to your programme, then request the organiser workflow that fits your competition.
