Judging that stands up to every question
Every score is logged precisely by juror, criterion and time. When a participant asks “why?”, you have the answer – not a gut feeling.

Why Cita.Competition
Judging is a matter of trust.
So we make it traceable.
Six strengths, one system: from the first score to the award ceremony.
Three judging depths: Quick, Pro, Master
From quick audience voting to a double-blind professional panel with head judge and z-score. You choose the depth that fits your competition.
Jury without chaos
Invite, accept, score – the entire juror lifecycle in one flow. No paper sheets, no three Excel versions, no re-typing.
Anonymous when it counts
Single- or double-blind, anonymous sample IDs and a cooldown between scores. Manipulation has no foothold.
Compliance is built in, not bolted on
Regulated? Age verification (18+), tiered self-disclosure and a complete log kick in automatically. You don’t have to assemble anything yourself.
From scoring to award ceremony
Aggregate results, publish them, generate winners’ certificates and stage the award ceremony cleanly – with no media breaks.
How it works
Four steps to a winner.
From an empty competition to the award ceremony – no media breaks, no re-typing.
-
Set up
Arrange classes, categories and criteria from a template or by drag-&-drop, choose the judging depth – in minutes, not weeks.
-
Build the jury
Invite jurors or let them apply, assign roles, designate the head judge. Acceptance and access run automatically.
-
Score
Each juror scores in a structured way against the same criteria – at the table or remotely, anonymously if desired.
-
Award ceremony
Scores aggregated by your rule, results released, certificates generated – the stage is set for the winners.

- Beer
- Coffee
- Wine
- Spirits
- Award shows
Cita.Competition is the operating system for structured competitions, not for a single industry.
Platform
One platform. One account.
Cita.Competition runs on the same platform as Cita.Events.
One account, one organisation, the same roles and permissions – what you set up once applies everywhere.
Do you also run events? Events and Competition can be combined – jury judging and ticketing, all of a piece.
Your competition. Judged cleanly.
