Using Cloudron to Automate Processing of Entries to a Competition

[LoudLemur]

Situation:
I would like to use Cloudron to help automate the processing of entries to an online competition. Submissions would be image and video files. Which Cloudron applications could do this well?
Task:
Provide an online form which entrants could use to submit their details and files.
Categorize the entrants, assign a number to their entry.
Generate a page where people could see the entries and vote for their favourites.
Tally the results of the votes and establish the winner.

LimeSurvey could be used to collect the details and perhaps accept files, I think. It could generate some graphics for the results too.

Any other ideas for applications?

Don't think there is an app out of the box for this. Probably requires some coding (some no code / low code app ?)

@girish There seem to be some proprietary applications for this sort of case, but I could not find any alternatives for self-hosting.

LimeSurvey might be ok for presenting options for a vote, but the hard work is putting the survey together. I thought an enterprise management tool might have options for something like this, in settings where one must evaluate competing proposals without bias.

As @girish suggested, the architecture and process is similar to one of these options:

Choose your adventure (book)

Input options:

1. Surfer hosted app (self made data collection)
2. WP with forms plugin
3. Lime Survey
4. Espo CRM
5. Dolibarr
6. LAMP custom script, etc.

Data processing options:

1. one of the Cloudron DBs attached to above apps
2. NocoDB
3. Baserow
4. N8N
5. WP plugin
6. ...

Output options:

1. same as the input options as you get processed data passed back

That should help frame things and take you to the next level.

Have fun

Thanks! Input/processing/output is a nice way of looking at it.
