Manage entries See all the details of an entry on one screen. Check the categories, chapters, submission dates, update time, location of submission, plagiarism status and a whole load more. This is not your average submission management system. Track (and change) entry status Easily identify completed entries and entries in progress. And use the status as a means for further engagement with your entrants and submitters. If the situation necessitates it, you can revert submitted entries back to “in progress” or even advise entrants to resubmit. All from one drop-down menu. Tags Apply tags to entries to help you manage them. Use tags as shortlist indicators, selectors for further communication or even as a means of quickly identifying runners-up and winners later. Filter and search Find what you are looking for with powerful search and filter tools. You can even save your filter set for viewing later, or share it with your team so they see what you see. Customised views Tailor your submission management view by customising both the column layout and visibility. Columns are draggable, sortable and have visibility selections that enables you to make Award Force work for you. And yes, you can save these views for later and share it with your team as well! Report The dashboard will give you a great overview of what’s happening in your program. Track submitted and in-progress entries, check your daily entry volumes over time, see entries by category, track entry fees and orders, and a whole lot more. Copy, delete or archive? You can copy, delete and archive entries in bulk or one at a time. It’s up to you and what your program demands at the time. If you choose to delete an entry, we apply a soft delete to make sure you lose nothing by mistake. Learn more about archiving. Keep your program in top shape Use our manage duplicates and plagiarism detection functionality to keep your program in tip-top shape! Both can be initiated on an individual or bulk basis. Now that’s efficiency! Learn more about managing duplicates and plagiarism detection. Resubmission For programs requiring resubmission from entrants or multi-stage entry programs, use our handy resubmission tool to request clarifications or ask for additional information from your entrants. You can request resubmission on an individual entry or in bulk. Frequently asked questions Can I change the eligibility criteria after my programme launches? You can update your eligibility criteria at any time. Just remember that changes will only apply to new entries—existing entries will remain subject to the criteria in place at the time of submission. If you adjust the criteria mid-process, we recommend notifying your entrants to ensure transparency. Can I prevent entrants from submitting multiple entries? Yes, you can! Award Force allows you to limit the number of submissions an entrant can submit. You can configure this in your settings, and the system automatically enforces it. Can I set up approval or task workflows within the entry process? Absolutely! Award Force offers Review Flow that helps you manage entries efficiently. You can configure different review stages such as approvals, document uploads, or entry edits for entrants, judges, or managers before moving an entry to the next stage. What happens if an entrant needs to update their submission after the deadline? Once the entry deadline has passed, entrants can no longer make changes. However, as a program manager, you can reopen entries or extend deadlines if needed. It is recommended to communicate your policy on post-deadline edits to avoid confusion. Can I run multiple programmes simultaneously? Yes! Award Force allows you to manage multiple programmes using chapters. Chapters help you organise entries and judging by a specific classification such as regions, departments, or business units. Each chapter can have its own entry dates, categories, chapter managers, and judging panels, making it easy to run multiple programmes under one account while keeping everything structured and efficient.
