Since application and registration are two separate processes in Evalato, they require separate forms. The information collected in both forms serves different purposes and as a result, has different levels of user access. **The registration form** enables applicants to sign up for a program. In this sense, the process is similar to creating an account. Registered users can access, edit, and submit their applications via a personalized applicant portal. The information collected via the registration form is only available to admins and never available to judges or the public. **The application form** collects data associated with each individual submission. You can choose what information in the application form to make available to judges and/or the public. That is why some fields in the application form have a **data access option** that allows you to limit who can see the information entered into these specific fields to: - **Everyone** —everyone who logs into your public voting portal during a Public voting round, as well as program judges and members of your organization in Evalato. - **Admins and judges** —program judges as well as members of your organization in Evalato. - **Admins only** — members of your organization in Evalato.   - [Getting started](https://hub.evalato.com/help/getting-started?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Program basics](https://hub.evalato.com/help/getting-started?hsLang=en#program-basics) - [Subscription terms](https://hub.evalato.com/help/getting-started?hsLang=en#subscription-terms) - [First steps](https://hub.evalato.com/help/getting-started?hsLang=en#first-steps) - [FAQs](https://hub.evalato.com/help/faqs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://hub.evalato.com/help/faqs?hsLang=en#general) - [Evaluation, judges, voting, results](https://hub.evalato.com/help/faqs?hsLang=en#evaluation-judges-voting-results) - [Registrations](https://hub.evalato.com/help/faqs?hsLang=en#registrations) - [Data analytics, tracking, and integrations](https://hub.evalato.com/help/faqs?hsLang=en#data-analytics-tracking-and-integrations) - [Pricing, payments, and billing](https://hub.evalato.com/help/faqs?hsLang=en#pricing-payments-and-billing) - [Website, public pages, applicant, and judging portals](https://hub.evalato.com/help/faqs?hsLang=en#website-public-pages-applicant-and-judging-portals) - [Applications](https://hub.evalato.com/help/faqs?hsLang=en#applications) - [Emails, automated messages, and wording](https://hub.evalato.com/help/faqs?hsLang=en#emails-automated-messages-and-wording) - [Integrations](https://hub.evalato.com/help/integrations?hsLang=en) - [Troubleshooting](https://hub.evalato.com/help/troubleshooting?hsLang=en) - [General](https://hub.evalato.com/help/general?hsLang=en) - [Response emails, automated messages & wording](https://hub.evalato.com/help/response-emails-automated-messages-wording?hsLang=en) - [Organization & users](https://hub.evalato.com/help/organization-users?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Organization settings](https://hub.evalato.com/help/organization-users?hsLang=en#organization-settings) - [Program settings](https://hub.evalato.com/help/organization-users?hsLang=en#program-settings) - [Profile settings](https://hub.evalato.com/help/organization-users?hsLang=en#profile-settings) - [Managing your program](https://hub.evalato.com/help/managing-your-program?hsLang=en) - [Website, embeddable form, and branding](https://hub.evalato.com/help/website-embeddable-form-and-branding?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Branding](https://hub.evalato.com/help/website-embeddable-form-and-branding?hsLang=en#branding) - [Website](https://hub.evalato.com/help/website-embeddable-form-and-branding?hsLang=en#website) - [Data analytics, export & integrations](https://hub.evalato.com/help/data-analytics-export-integrations?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Integrations](https://hub.evalato.com/help/data-analytics-export-integrations?hsLang=en#integrations) - [Import](https://hub.evalato.com/help/data-analytics-export-integrations?hsLang=en#import) - [Export](https://hub.evalato.com/help/data-analytics-export-integrations?hsLang=en#export) - [Evaluation, judging rounds, criteria](https://hub.evalato.com/help/evaluation-judging-rounds-criteria?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Criteria](https://hub.evalato.com/help/evaluation-judging-rounds-criteria?hsLang=en#criteria) - [Judging rounds](https://hub.evalato.com/help/evaluation-judging-rounds-criteria?hsLang=en#judging-rounds) - [Evaluation](https://hub.evalato.com/help/evaluation-judging-rounds-criteria?hsLang=en#evaluation) - [Setting up your program](https://hub.evalato.com/help/setting-up-your-program?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Forms & wording](https://hub.evalato.com/help/setting-up-your-program?hsLang=en#forms-wording) - [General settings](https://hub.evalato.com/help/setting-up-your-program?hsLang=en#general-settings) - [Categories](https://hub.evalato.com/help/setting-up-your-program?hsLang=en#categories) - [Payment settings](https://hub.evalato.com/help/payment-settings?hsLang=en#main-content) - [General](https://hub.evalato.com/help/payment-settings?hsLang=en#general) - [Payment methods](https://hub.evalato.com/help/payment-settings?hsLang=en#payment-methods) - [Discounts](https://hub.evalato.com/help/payment-settings?hsLang=en#discounts) - [Help for applicants & judges](https://hub.evalato.com/help/help-for-applicants-judges?hsLang=en) - [Winners](https://hub.evalato.com/help/winners?hsLang=en) # Evalato Barcelona, Catalunya, Spain [mailto:hello@evalato.com](mailto:hello@evalato.com) Copyright © 2025, Evalato
