We are excited to introduce the new feature External Judges, an updated version of the previous manual judging feature, now available in the Organizer Dashboard.
External Judges gives you a structured way to invite judges, define clear evaluation rules, and review BUIDL submissions directly on the platform. It helps you combine human expertise with structured scoring for a clearer and more efficient judging process. At the same time, AI reviews are also available for judges’ reference.

- Add explanations to align judges on evaluation criteria
- Enable written commentary for qualitative feedback

How it works
1. Set up Judging Rules: Navigate to Organizer Dashboard > Judging > External Judges. Define your categories, score limits, and explanations.
2. Invite Your Panel: Set a deadline and simply enter judge email addresses. The system handles the rest.
3. Seamless Reviewing: Judges access a dedicated portal with a split-view interface, allowing them to review BUIDL details and input scores simultaneously.
4. Assign Winners: Once judging ends, view a detailed breakdown of scores in Winner Assignment to make data-driven decisions.
External Judges is now live.
