Having a competition judged remotely (online) is a very important feature of the MyPhotoClub solution. The process of having a judge register, then follow a link to become a judge and then go back to the email each time to access a competition was pretty clunky so an improved process has been establishd.

The main points of the new system are:

  • The judge does not need to register – you either select their existing account or create one for them.
  • The judge is sent a generated email which contains a link to a  Remote Judges Home page. The link automatically logs them on. You receive a copy of this message.
  • This page contains links to all the comps you’ve selected for them to judge.
  • Once the comp is finalised/published the link disappears from their home page.
  • There are now next / previous buttons on the comments page to simplify moving from image to image.

Accessing this new process is done using the same link on the Competition Management page called Competitions judged remotely.

If you wish to test this go to Demonstration site > Competition Management> Competitions judged remotely. Use aricakim@noemail.com as the judge, or create one with an address ending in @noemail.com

Below are screen shots of the email and home page.
