We used a different program for three years. It became harder to use each year. After helping two other associations on judging their awards, we got to work on Award Force and really loved it.”

    My organization is a professional association of communicators in higher education. We have been sponsoring a creative awards competition for 14 years. When we went online six years ago, we began using another company. It was cumbersome and difficult for the entrants but we chalked it up to the fact that we were new at this. After four years of sticking it out, we began looking for better options. We found the best in Award Force! It’s been great! We also reduced our cost of the service. Win-win!”
