We had begun our research for a replacement and our criteria included that whomever we chose would be an Australian based company. It is important to us to work with people who really understand our needs as a business, the culture in which we operate and who have the expertise and capability to provide real-time service.” “When Award Force approached us to discuss our award program needs, their timing was perfect and it was quickly clear that they were perfect for us. They showed a strong understanding of the requirements for successful award programs with functionality, design, usability, sensitivity and security for applicants and judges being of paramount importance. Award Force understood this from day one and demonstrated their capacity and capability to ensure this was uncompromised.” The Award Force choice Stress-free and streamlined With Award Force it’s all stress free and we love the template they’ve designed for us so that we can customise it ourselves to suit immediately.” “With the Media Federation Awards about to happen, we switched to Award Force and we have never looked back!
