A smart platform to manage awards, contests and applications
Dapple is an all-in-one management platform helping businesses in the creative industry collect, review, manage and report on submissions. Whether it's running calls for entry, awards, accepting applications, managing contests or pitches, Dapple streamlines the whole process into one simple-to-use platform, saving users hours in admin.
If you’ve ever tried to run an award, contest, open call, or any kind of submission or application process, you probably know the drill: scattered emails, messy spreadsheets, a mixture of forms, reviewers working in different places. If you’ve got software, it’s probably clunky, expensive and built in the 2000s.
Dapple is our answer to that. It’s a smart, simple platform that brings everything into one place. With beautiful forms for collecting applications, intuitive tools for organising, review panels for scoring, voting and feedback and easy ways of communicating with applicants, it removes the admin chaos.
Who’s it for?
Built by creatives for creatives, Dapple is aimed at arts organisations, publishers, non-profits, creative institutions - small teams doing big, meaningful work. We wanted to build a tool that would break the mould of a dry, corporate-based application system and create one that was sleek, intuitive, transparent, and fun to use.

Who hunted Dapple?
Dapple was hunted by Oz Osbaldeston. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
