Learn more about judging feedback Frequently asked questions Do we need to upload entry information for judging to take place? Yes, entry data must be available in Award Force for adjudication to proceed. If entries are collected externally, they can be imported into the platform. Once uploaded, categories, judging panels, and scoring criteria can be configured to match your program needs. Can judges’ comments be edited? By default, comments are final once submitted. However, program managers can edit or remove comments if needed to ensure clarity or correct errors. How can we provide feedback to entrants based on judges' evaluations? Entrants can receive scores and comments through a feedback round. You can configure when and how this information is shared, ensuring confidentiality while keeping the adjudication process structured. Is it possible to anonymise entries during judging to prevent bias? Yes, entries can be anonymised so judges can assess submissions without knowing the entrant's identity. Can judges collaborate or discuss entries within the platform? Yes, judges can see and respond to each other’s comments if this setting is enabled. This allows for a more interactive adjudication process where judges can provide additional context or discuss specific entries. How can we monitor judges' progress during judging? The Judging progress view provides an overview of each judge’s activity, showing completed evaluations and pending tasks. This makes it easy to track progress and ensure adjudication stays on schedule.
