7. Save the judge

Step 2: Invitations Are Sent Automatically

• When you add a judge with an email address, an invitation is sent immediately
• The email includes:
• A personalized magic link for easy access
• The contest code
• A link to the contest landing page
• Instructions on how to participate

Step 3: Resend Individual Invitations

If a judge didn't receive their invitation or needs it resent:

1. Go to your contest dashboard
2. Find the judge in the Judges list
3. Click "Resend Invitation" icon next to their name
4. The invitation will be sent again immediately

Step 4: Bulk Send Invitations

To send invitations to all judges:

1. Go to your contest dashboard
2. Navigate to the Judges section
3. Click "Bulk Send Invitations"

Tips

• Judges can participate even without email invitations by using the contest code
• Magic links provide one-click access - no need to remember codes
• Judges can unsubscribe from emails if they no longer wish to receive notifications
• You can add judges without email addresses - they'll need to use the contest code manually

Troubleshooting

• Email not received?: Check spam folders, verify the email address is correct, and try resending
• Judge can't access?: They can always use the contest code from the landing page (make sure the contest is open)
• Need to update email?: Edit the judge's information and resend the invitation
