And the best news? No coding or engineering team is required. Simply grab your marketing assets (we’ve made an exact list of what you need here) and use our powerful theming options to extend your brand. Here are the options for theming your awards program in Award Force.

Customise your home page

The home page is where your program participants register and log in to the platform. It’s the same login page whether you’re a program manager, awards entrant, or judge!

You can upload your logo and a background image as well as add copy and videos to attract and welcome your program participants.

Add a header logo and background image

The header theming options in Award Force provides you with a way to customise your entrant, judge and guest views. For the header, you can upload a background image that runs across the top of the page, as well as a logo. Easily adjust the size to fit your theme and preferences.

You can also upload a custom footer, ideal for displaying program sponsors or partners.

To apply a colour, you can use our colour picker and available swatches or input a hex code to provide a specific colour. 

Various options to apply colors to your theme

Add graphics to your footer 

You can upload a footer image to appear at the bottom of every page of your account on desktop devices and mobile, including the home page if the setting is enabled. This is a great location to showcase your any program sponsors or partners!

Theme your PDFs and emails

If you plan to export PDFs for judges or entrants or want to send branded emails from the platform, you can theme these with headers and footers. This provides an easy way to build consistency and brand recognition throughout the awards experience.
