Give entrants the guidance they need with Award Force’s enhanced text editor

Clear communication is vital in awards. A few well-placed words can guide entrants through your program with ease or leave them confused and sending questions. 

The enhanced Award Force text editor gives program managers the tools to present information with clarity, add context when it matters most, and ensure their programs run smoothly.

The text editor: what’s new

The new HTML editor with WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) formatting makes it simple to create and update content without using any special codes or formatting syntax. Updates that once took extra steps can now be done instantly, helping you work faster and more precisely.

Program managers can quickly create:

• Bold, italic, underline and inline code
• Hyperlinks to direct entrants to more information
• Block quotes for emphasis
• Bulleted and numbered lists
• Indent and outdent for layout control
• Images or media via URL to enrich content

Where you can use it

The enhanced text editor is available across the Award Force platform, so you can create formatted, impactful content wherever it’s needed:

• Entry form multi-line text fields
• Content blocks in high-visibility areas such as entrant home info boxes, action flow pages and payment/cart info
• Field hints and content fields
• Email templates and notifications
• Judge and manager comments
• Certificates, category descriptions and blank entry PDF downloads.

Save time and simplify the entrant experience

When content is clear and easy to update, entrants ask fewer questions and your team saves time. With editing directly in place, you can focus on delivering a great awards experience rather than formatting frustrations.

You’ll also find creating and maintaining content far easier:

• Copy and paste from Google Docs or Microsoft Word with formatting intact
• Resize images instantly
• Embed videos with a click
• Let judges attach files to feedback, giving entrants helpful supporting context.

Tips for guiding entrants effectively

Make the most of the enhanced editor by using its features to support entrants at every step:

• Share updates in high-visibility content blocks
• Break down requirements with bullet points for easy scanning
• Highlight deadlines or mandatory details with bold text
• Link to guidelines or FAQs for deeper detail without cluttering your interface

With the enhanced text editor, you can deliver clearer guidance, reduce support requests and focus on running an exceptional awards program.
