Comprehensive online management for Festivals and Competitions

Are you tired of illegible handwritten forms? Registrations arriving late, getting lost in the mail, or missing needed information? Is manual scheduling taking forever? Are you overwhelmed with schedule requests from teachers, judges, and families?

On the day of the event, are you and your judges coping with cramped wrists and endless pencil sharpening? Running out of printer ink to print all those judging sheets? Staying late to sort piles of papers, while teachers wait for results?

It's time to move your registration and judging online!

Dramatically reduce the volunteer hours needed to run your events:

Stop wasting time on data entry, printing paperwork, or sharpening pencils!
Save money and reduce the workload for leaders and volunteers.
Online registration ensures that teachers provide all required information via easy-to-read forms and reports.

"It looks SO nice!!!...Thank you so much for all your hard work on this!" - Treasure Valley Music Teachers Association

Online judging is happier for everyone.

Now judges can do everything via their tablet or computer. They’ll see their schedule of students, with a time indicator showing whether they are on time or running late.
They can click a student and type the evaluation, and the system will verify that they completed all information.
When the judge finishes an evaluation, you can view it immediately. Approve the evaluation with one click to make it visible to the teacher.
For a personal touch, judges upload their signature and the system places it on the student’s sheet.

"The judges were ecstatic about the online judging. Thank you so much
for helping out in our crunch last month." - Musicians West

Streamline your scheduling.

Manual scheduling can take forever. Judges, parents, siblings, and students have time requests. Different levels need different lengths of time. And then you have to account for each judge’s breaks and lunch.
Our system handles all of that so you can generate your entire schedule in a few button clicks.
Judges, teachers, and leadership can then login to view the schedule.
Plus, it automatically generates printable schedules to tape outside the doors.

"You are awesome! I appreciate the help!" - Nebraska Music Teachers Association

Custom reports provide new insights.

How many theory tests do you need? Which students might earn a trophy this year? Our reports tell you in advance, so you can order materials accurately.
Are your judges being too strict or lenient? Learn surprising new information to improve your event for the future. For example, a report that compares how different judges scored the same levels.

MTNA members and associations always receive a 15% discount off our packages and rates.
