Your valued judging team are important and busy people—that’s why we call it VIP judging. Award Force’s user-friendly judging interface makes for quick and efficient judging. Judge’s view Judges each have their own secure login, shown only entries that they are to judge. We’ve made the judge’s view of entries super clean and clear—with everything nicely arranged on one page for an easy overview of your scoring rubric. Your judges will love you for its speed and simplicity! Judging status In the judge’s list of entries, they can easily keep track of the entries they have judged, that are in progress, or are yet to be judged—they can easily see how far they are through the process and what’s left, even filtering their list to only show entries they are yet to judge. Powerful judging panels configuration Set-up your judging panels in a flash, associating groups of judges with entries by a combination of category, chapter, shortlist, etc. Balance workload between judges by splitting categories into smaller groups of entries. No training required Judging is so clear and straightforward your judges already know how to use Award Force. No manual or training required! Sophisticated scoring controls Choose between numerical scoring controls such as “select score”, “slider” and “keyboard input” or a “recommendation” control for non-numerical assessment options such as “Gold, Bronze and Silver.” All scores can be weighted as your program requires and are visible on the real-time judging leaderboard. Public comments Judges are invited to make a comment on entries that they judge, that may be shared with the entrant, used in promotional materials or quoted at awards presentations. Notes Judges can make reference notes only they can see, on an entry. A great help in recording thoughts to come back to. Real-time judging leaderboard Monitor scoring as it happens with a dynamic leaderboard that provides an overview of progress and scoring summary at your fingertips. Judging confidentiality agreement Do your judges need to sign a confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement? Save time for everybody by getting them to do this online the first time they log in. Score audit matrix Examine the score breakdown for an individual entry by judge and judging criteria from your scoring rubric to identify any judging anomaly or in the case of dispute. Manage shortlist, finalists and winners Use the judging leaderboard to mark shortlist, finalists and winners, then e.g. configure second round judging panels to review shortlisted entries.
