Manage judging has been released! 🥳 This new judging dashboard offers users a bird’s eye view of all judging configurations and progress in one simple view.
You can now add a shortcut to Saved views. Shortcuts are added to the top of the list view where the Saved view is applied. This is also available to judges!
A Zapier integration tool is now available in-app under the Developers menu in Settings. A convenient way to find applications that can integrate with Award Force via Zapier.
A new login code has been added for SSO (Single sign-on) users who already have an account. They will now automatically be sent a six-digit code on first log-in rather than asked for a previous password. #simplify
Files can now be added to entries via drag-and-drop file upload functionality.

The left-hand navigation now collapses all the options not in use for improved user experience.
Theme setting changes are now automatically refreshed so updates are instantly visible without having to refresh the screen or browser.
We improved the colour of entry error messages under the entry form for better visibility.
The order of action buttons on the Manage entries view have been reordered and a new “Edit form” button has been added for improved user experience.
Validation has been added to user invite notifications to prevent accidental errors or deletions of the {join_link} merge field.
The registration validation message has been simplified to be consistent with the entry form with any error messages highlighted in red.
WCAG labels have been added to the Tabs page under the Entries menu. #accessibility
