How?
There are two ways Headrush can streamline your event:
Option 1: Centralize Event Information
Headrush can be used as a planning tool to manage the event, track details, and keep the event planning team in sync. Use Headrush to design, plan, and manage the event beforehand, keeping everyone involved up to date and informed. In the Warehouse, find templates for designing and planning a variety of statewide events:
Copy a template, or design your event from scratch. The Task Board makes organizing, planning and communications visual and simple:

Option 2: Collect Submissions and Use for Judging
What do Judges see?
Here is a welcome video you can send to judges on what they will see and are being asked to do within Headrush. This also helps illuminate for you how this works:
Specialists submit on behalf of students
Specialists submit on behalf of students
Specialists can upload evidence on behalf of students for judges to review.
