For some of our competitions, organizers want to share detailed information about the competitors. This is common for scholarship applications and pitch competitions.
There are three simple ways to include long-form responses:
1. Add All Content Directly in the Competitor Description
Place all responses in the ballot’s description field for immediate visibility to Judges.
Pros:
Easy access with no extra steps.
No need for external links.
Cons:
Can become cluttered.
Hard to scan quickly.
2. Link to a Google Doc or other Cloud system
Store responses in a Google Doc and share the link in the description.
Pros:
Keeps the ballot clean.
Easy formatting and organization.
Cons:
Requires an extra step for Judges to open and view Competitor materials.
Sharing permissions must be managed.
3. Link to a PDF
Compile responses in a PDF and link to the pdf in the description.
Pros:
Preserves formatting and structure.
Easy to download and share.
Cons:
Requires an extra step for Judges to open and view Competitor materials.
