See below for brief guides on:
- How to Apply to an opportunity
  
  We recommend reading the commission document for any opportunity listing on our site prior to applying. Sometimes, commissioners post opportunities on CODAworx and accidentally set them to accept applications on our site, even when they have portal on a different website.
  
  Opportunities hosting applications on CODAworx will ask for samples of existing artworks. You can enter CODAworx projects - draft or published - as worksamples. You can also upload new worksamples when you apply to opportunities. Worksamples uploaded this way will be saved on your profile as Draft Projects.
  
  Tap here for our guide on How to Apply to Opportunities.
- How to Post an opportunity
  
  Art commissioners can post opportunities on CODAworx for free. Commissioners can specify whether they want to accept applications on CODAworx, or direct applicants to an external link of their choosing.
  
  To post a Public Art Opportunity, be sure you are signed in to an account, and visit Hire > Post a Call using the menu in the header.
  
  If you would like to publish an opportunity on a specific future date, select that date as your application "Open Date", fill out the rest of the form, and select "Publish" at the very last step. If you don't select "Publish", your call will remain in Draft mode.

- How to Jury an opportunity
  
  Artwork opportunities that accept applications on CODAworx have built-in committee jurying.
  
  Jurying on CODAworx is round-based. Ideally, the field of candidates will be progressively narrowed down to finalists over multiple rounds.
  
  Commissioners accepting applications on CODAworx for Free only can have one scoring round and one juror. Paid toolkit users can have unlimited jurors and unlimited scoring rounds.
  
  If you've sent your juror an invite to review candidates, and they say they can't see the applications, here are some basic troubleshooting steps
  
  -Add them to the scoring round from the jury pool
  -Make sure your juror is logging on to CODAworx with the same email address you used in their jury invitation.
  -Make sure your juror doesn't say "Removed" or "Deleted". You can reinstate a removed juror by selecting the the menu to the right of their name on the "Selection Process" tab of your Open Call.
  
  If you are a juror on CODAworx, here is the full guide for jurors.
