# Setting up a Call for papers

## The Call for papers feature allows you to organize contests, paper submissions, or evaluation sessions. It enables you to create custom forms, assign reviewers, and track submissions efficiently.

### **Create a new Submission Template**

To create a new submission template:

- From the main menu, go to **Program \> Submission Templates**
- Assign a name to the template (e.g., “Innovation Award Template”)

![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-06-2025-02-16-12-3334-PM.png?width=670&height=317&name=image-png-Jun-06-2025-02-16-12-3334-PM.png)

### **Configure the submission form**

​Within the template, set up your submission form by adding the relevant fields, such as:

- First name
- Last name
- Email
- Project description
- File uploads (PDFs, images, videos)

### **Configure the review form**

For the reviewers’ form:

- Include custom evaluation criteria, such as:
  
    - **5-star rating**
    - **Open comments**
- Tailor the review criteria to match what needs to be assessed (e.g., originality, feasibility, relevance).

### **Tips**

- A single submission template can be reused across multiple calls for papers, which saves time when launching similar initiatives.
- If you have several categories (e.g., CSR Prize, Innovation Prize), we recommend creating a distinct submission folder for each one to ensure clear tracking.

### **Create a call for papers**

To create a new call:

- From the main menu, go to **Program \> Calls for Papers**
- Name your call (e.g., “Innovation Grand Prix”)
- Link it to an existing submission template

### Then configure the following:

- **Target audience**: specify whether the call is for individual participants or exhibitors
- **Quotas**: set a maximum number of submissions (e.g., 50) and/or authors per submission
- **Dates**: define submission and review periods (e.g., April 1 to April 30 for submissions, May 1 to May 15 for reviews)

### **Assign reviewers**

Reviewers will evaluate submissions based on the review form criteria. You can assign them in two ways:

- **By call**: reviewers will access all submissions within the call
- **By submission**: each reviewer will be assigned specific papers to evaluate

### **Add templates and create pages**

Make sure to add the **Call for Papers** templates so they are available in the CMS:

- In the event back office:  
  Go to **Website tab \> Templates \> Add Template \> Call for Papers  
  Go to Website tab \> Templates \> Add Template \> Call for Papers- submission**
- Then, from the CMS, create a **blank page** and add a **Submission Overview block**

Also add the **Call for Papers – Detail Page** to allow access to individual paper submissions.

![](https://help.inwink.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jun-06-2025-02-37-03-4688-PM.png?width=670&height=293&name=image-png-Jun-06-2025-02-37-03-4688-PM.png)

#### **Attendee Workspace**

In the participant space, add the **Submissions** and **Reviews** pages so that:

- Submitters can view and manage their papers
- Reviewers can access only the submissions they are assigned to

You can do this from:

- The back office:  
  **Website & App \> Website Content \> Add Page \> Call for Papers**
- The CMS:  
  **Current Page \> Add Page \> Call for Papers**
