CUSTOM AWARD APP

National Gallery of Canada

Streamlining the nomination process
for a prestigious Canadian art award

 

This custom web app is used by the National Gallery of Canada to collect nominations and votes for the annual Sobeys Art Award.

Our team digitized a nomination and judging process that had been a tedious manual task for 20 years. Thanks to the new app, the heavy time burden has been lifted, and the gallery can deliver smooth, tailored experiences for artists, jurors, and administrators.

PROJECT CATALYST

Every year, the National Gallery of Canada organizes the Sobey Art Award, supporting contemporary Canadian artists through financial support and recognition across Canada.

The process of collecting votes and tallying the results was done manually with the use of emails and spreadsheets – no online system, app or website existed that suited the gallery’s unique needs.

A custom solution was needed that would create a streamlined and easy experience for artists to submit their work, for the jurors to rank the artists, and gallery administrators to track and store results and data.

A role-based permission model serves different user views and functionalities for artists, jurors, and administrators

Artist submissions, corresponding documents, and ranking info are all stored for easy access

The bilingual interface in French and English matches the Gallery’s existing brand guidelines

The app can be reset each year for the upcoming awards season, while preserving historical records

The elimination of manual data entry has proved to result in less errors and increased data accuracy.

The new streamlined process significantly reduces the amount of administrative input, time, and tedious tasks required for the award each year.
