Case Study: GridMarkets achieves streamlined, time-efficient global scholarship judging with Judgify

GridMarkets - Customer Case Study

GridMarkets, a global cloud rendering company, launched the inaugural GridMarkets Scholarship to connect animation students with industry professionals by requiring 90‑second Houdini animations and detailed breakdowns. They faced the challenge of running a location‑independent, easy‑to‑use judging process for a virtual panel of international judges and selected Judgify’s online judging and submission platform rather than building a proprietary system.

Judgify provided an intuitive, mobile‑friendly submission portal and centralized judging dashboard with customizable scorecards and unlimited judging rounds, allowing judges to evaluate entries anytime with virtually no training. The platform enabled timely, scalable evaluation—GridMarkets says meeting the aggressive timeframe would have been impossible otherwise—and helped select winners “Going Down” and “Hope,” who received $US3000 in rendering credits, $US500 tuition support and additional industry prizes.
