Dapple makes running open calls, awards, and grants effortless — for organisers and applicants alike

Dapple is the AI-powered submission management platform for anyone running open calls, awards, grants, fellowships, residencies, or competitions. It handles the full lifecycle — building and publishing applications, collecting submissions, managing judging and scoring, and communicating decisions — all in one place.
It's built for the creative and cultural sector: arts organisations, festivals, publishers, funders, and programme teams who need to run high-quality open calls without enterprise overhead or cobbled-together spreadsheets.
Why it's different:
Set up in minutes, not weeks — launch your call with no lengthy onboarding.
AI-powered from the ground up — not bolted on — speeding up application building, judging, and shortlisting.
Affordable — priced for creative-sector budgets, not enterprise ones.
Made for creatives — designed around how arts and cultural organisations actually work, not adapted from generic grant software built for large institutions.

A Featured Brew costs $15. Once. No subscription. No renewal. Your tool pinned to the top of the feed for 7 days — in front of every founder browsing for their next stack.
The coffee is gone by noon. The listing stays for years.
The coffee is gone by noon. This isn't.
Same weekly spend. One lasts forever.
