Green quotes

We are about to enter our fourth year with Award Force. I have been approached by several others to switch and I tell them why should I? The customer service is prompt and first rate and the interface is easy to use. Plus there are many FAQs and videos to help.”

Green quotes

I am a curator delivering a triennial award for artists at a national museum in the UK. Award Force enabled us to bring the process in-house, from the open call and application process to longlisting, review and judging. The platform was almost entirely customisable to our needs, and is very straightforward to use. […] Award Force was a godsend; we could shift the judging process online, using the integrated judging facilities, scoring, commentary and a leaderboard before the final digital discussion.”
