Flexible eligibility screening for every awards program

Screen entries for eligibility automatically, manually, or a combination of both. Whatever suits your entry process. Less admin for your awards team, less friction for participants.

Make sure the right
entries reach judging

Configure eligibility to match your program, reduce unnecessary administration and ensure judges spend their time evaluating only eligible entries.

Save everyone time

Reduce unnecessary entry management, keep judges focused on eligible submissions and give entrants immediate clarity about whether they can continue. 

Configure eligibility your way

Mix automatic screening, auto-scoring and manual review to create the eligibility experience that suits your awards program.

Everything stays together

Eligibility responses become part of each entry record, giving your team complete visibility from initial screening through to judging, reporting and results.

Screen by category

Apply different eligibility rules to individual award categories, giving you greater flexibility when programs have varying entry requirements.

Build the eligibility workflow you need

Every awards program is different. Combine automatic screening, manual review and auto-scoring to create an eligibility process that matches your program requirements.

Auto-scoring

Automatically score responses

For program managers who spend time and effort moderating entries prior to judging, auto-scoring can fast-track your moderation effort by automatically scoring answers to questions in your entry form.

Simply assign values to fields with set answers and the Award Force platform will automatically tally the results!

Automatic eligibility

Screen entrant eligibility automatically

For programs that need to check entrant eligibility, Award Force’s automatic eligibility screener elegantly redirects ineligible entrants while allowing eligible entrants to seamlessly continue with their submission.

Program managers benefit from reduced entry management overhead, judges only spend time adjudicating eligible entries and ineligible entrants are automatically advised of their status, minimising their effort and respecting their time.

Manual eligibility

Review entrant eligibility manually

Need a human decision? Hold entries for review before allowing entrants to continue.

Ideal for expressions of interest, nomination-based awards and programs where eligibility cannot be determined through predefined rules alone.

Keep entrants informed throughout the process

Guide entrants through eligibility screening and automatically communicate every outcome, from pending review to eligibility decisions.

Content blocks

Guide applicants through eligibility screening

Use content blocks to explain eligibility requirements and display tailored messages when entrants are eligible, ineligible or awaiting assessment.

Notification triggers

Notify entrants about eligibility decisions

Automatically notify entrants when their eligibility is being reviewed, when they can continue with their submission or when they are unable to proceed.
