We've been busy making EntryThingy work better for you. Here's what changed this week to make finding opportunities easier and submitting applications smoother.
Faster, Smarter Search
Finding the right opportunities just got easier. Our search now understands when you type multiple words.
Before, searching for "photography residency" would show results with either word. Now it shows opportunities that have both words. Much more useful.
Try it out: Go to your opportunities list and search for something specific like "sculpture exhibition" or "digital art grant." You'll see more targeted results.
Simpler Application Process
We streamlined the application flow from 5 steps down to 4. No more confusing "Next Steps" page.
When you finish uploading your work, you'll land right on the submit page. Everything you need to review and send your application is there. Clean and simple.
The upload area is also bigger and clearer. You can't miss the requirements anymore. No more wondering what file types to use or how big your images should be.
What to do: Your next application will automatically use the new flow. Nothing to set up on your end.
Better Visual Tools for Galleries
Gallery organizers now have better control over how their opportunities look.
When you upload a banner image for your call, you can click on it to see it full size. Plus, you can choose exactly which part of the image shows up in the preview. No more awkward cropping that cuts off important details.
The mailing list toggle is now more visible too. It's in its own purple box so you won't miss it when setting up your opportunity page.
Take action: If you run galleries or opportunities, check your banner images. Click on them to make sure they look good, and adjust the focal point if needed.
