August 1, 2019 5.0 Using a designated and bespoke product like AF, has taken out so much stress and uncertainty around getting the nominations in and judged remotely. we had over 1000 entries that needed to go through a very clear and strict judging process (in light of being fare and transparent ) We could let judging take place remotely and smoothly, with the confidence of our data security and personal reputational image being protected. Pros Everything! Especially the rep our account tech support manager. she was on hand 24/7 with not just support, but with solutions, and confidence building techniques to help me take charge of the growth of our work. The platform itself, is slick, very user friendly and a 100% reliable. It gave us the confidence we needed to launch our first annual HEAT awards. this has gone so well, we are already pencilling in next years campaign. Award Force have been the first and only platform I have used for this task, but I wouldn't dream of going anywhere else. In the grand scheme of things the cost was extremely good for all the benefits we obtained, and even though our event programme is over, we are still able use all the data for our analysis and personal development. Cons In all honesty I have very little bad to say about the whole experience. If you really pushed me for a balanced review, I would have to say that on a couple of times and considering I emailed support up to 4 times a day in the build up of our launch. that if our designated manager was out of the office or had finished for the day. The person that took over sometimes was a little enthusiastic to come back with a response and not grasp how slow I was being. That's really nothing bad just maybe a pointer for the future that they get a summary of the clients habits and personal synopsis before responding to a query. Reason for choosing Award Force The quality, the confidence of being assured that our needs would be met and supported along the entire process. Review Source Response from Creative Force August 6, 2019 Thank you for your wonderful words, Matt! Specially appreciate the shout out to Rachel! Thank you also for the feedback about the support received from other members; we are a global team available 24x5 and feedback like this is valuable for us to be able to give more personalised service. SB Sophia B. CEO Consumer Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great award management tool that deliver what I expect, and more. " December 5, 2024 5.0 I have been working with Award Force for almost four years now, and I am so grateful for the platform as it always delivers. Running competitions with an online jury has become so simple and secure because everything works so well. It is a smooth solution where all participants, jury members, and not least the competition management are always satisfied. Pros Award Force has an enormous strength, and that is the support team. There is always someone who answers my questions, no matter what time of day I submit them. The service is 5-star, and everyone I've been in contact with in the team is so helpful and clear in their explanations. Cons I can' t come up with any right now.

Cons It takes some time to catch on to this program. Review Source TR Torey R. Controller Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "An Amazing Option for Project Management" June 22, 2021 5.0 Pros It's amazing! It looks great, the forward facing aspect has gotten many compliments. You can customize and tweak so much that you can make it work for almost anything! And the price is great! Customer service is very responsive and so helpful! They clearly know their stuff. Cons \-The built-in spreadsheet function is not great. -You can't have a submission from an anonymous source or without requiring a login. -If you want to have a lot of programs/ applications open at once, that tab view can get pretty cluttered and overwhelming. It would be nice if you could hide them by category or something. Alternatives considered [SurveyMonkey](https://www.capterra.com/p/253516/SurveyMonkey/) Reason for choosing Award Force This had it all in terms of what we needed and looked great. I would definitely choose this again. Switched from [Submittable](https://www.capterra.com/p/158382/Submittable/) To get a better interface and improved functionality at less cost! Review Source KH Kristina H. EAN Program Manager Accounting Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Award Force is superior software" October 20, 2022 5.0 Very positive experience overall. Other award platforms I have seen are just pale copies of Award Force! Pros The software is super easy to use and adapt to your program's needs. The help features and videos are best in class, and the customer service agents are patient and knowledgeable! Super fast turn around times too! Cons I wish there was more data around my applicants and submissions and the Full Report by Nomination type could be refined more. Switched from [Microsoft SharePoint](https://www.capterra.com/p/1167/SharePoint/) Award Force was a million times easier to use and much less expensive! Review Source JP Jeff P. Director of Education Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A great fit for our contest" July 23, 2020 5.0 Last year, we chose Award Force to replace a competitor that was going to raise its price by an unreasonable amount. A year later, I wish we had chosen Award Force sooner! Easy to use for administrators, contest entrants and contest judges. The price is very reasonable and we are excited to start up our contest using Award Force for the second year in a row. Customer support is outstanding. Pros 1\. Ease to implement and manage for administrators. 2. Ease of use for end users (contest entrants). 3. Great set of tools to set up and use the contest judging component. Cons Just one thing. Wish the company could allow us to use our primary online payment vendor. We have an existing account for one that does work, but it'd be nice to consolidate and have just one product to deal with in terms of online payment. That said, Award Force has already listened to our concern and our request was forwarded on.

Innovation Consultant Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Value for Money, Infinite Customization, GREAT Customer Support" July 23, 2020 5.0 We used AwardForce to run a two-round (semi-finalist + finalist) grant application process that required two different applications and two rounds of judging. AwardForce made the application and judging process easy, and customer support couldn't have been better. Pros I appreciated the level of customization that was possible, which makes this product flexible for different needs and even changes mid-stream. Perhaps the most valuable was the highly responsive and friendly customer support team via email or phone, which I leaned on frequently. Cons The in-app reporting views are limited, so I ended up exporting data to Excel to do certain kinds of sorting, filtering, and other data analysis. Also, the process of assigning judges was cumbersome in my case (instead of set judging groups, we assigned different combinations of judges to different applications - which was a multi-step process). Alternatives considered [Evalato](https://www.capterra.com/p/180032/Evalato/) Reason for choosing Award Force I've used two other software platforms to run challenges, and researched several others - AwardForce seemed to be the best value for dollar, and as a non-profit, that was key! I had previously used Screendoor, which I quite liked, but they increased their price more than 10x. Skilld was both expensive and clunky user-interface/features. I will note that I had a very tight timeline to make this selection, so my research into other platforms beyond the two mentioned above was quite hasty. Review Source Ajda B. Freelance Graphic Designer Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Amazing and professional, with great support team." March 19, 2018 5.0 More entries than expected and we saved a lot of administrative fees. Their support team is very helpful and fast in responding, which was a big plus for us. Pros For our Biennial of Slovenian Design we needed an intuitive and adjustable system. We were hoping to make administrative processes more efficient. After a detailed e-call, we were confident that we will be working with professionals who understand their clients. They translated the system in our language: it has only 2 mill. users, and has characteristics that are hard to work into english-based interfaces. While setting up, we were met with a lot of help from our producer. We encountered a problem: in the EU, it is required to add VAT info on invoice. AF did not have that option. After contacting them, VAT was implemented for us and other users also. We are strict about our image, so the implementation of our visual identity was a must for us. Designers branded it the way they liked it. The base is clean and leaves enough room to make it your own. Our administrators were very happy with the experience, as it significantly lessened the workload and kept our costs down. Our users were very excited to use AF. We are confident that their efficient system brought in more entries than we expected. We are very much looking forward to working with them in the years ahead and would wholeheartedly recommend the system to anyone looking for solutions to dealing with user entries at any scale. We were very glad that our Biennial, which is quite small in comparison with their other clients, received a thoroughly professional and attentive approach from their excellent team. Cons Some specific features didn't have a lot of flexibility but we managed to go around it with their help. Review Source Rosie S. Marketing and Events Coordinator Publishing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "AwardForce for MadeForMums and Junior Magazine" January 9, 2019 5.0 AwardForce has saved us a lot of time and means we can manage everything to with awards in one site. It's easy to pass on logon details to external judges who may be judging from afar and makes everyone feel as if they are on an important panel even being miles away. Pros AwardForce is very easy to use and means we can send one link out to hundreds of judges to get the best quality judging we need. The support team are super useful and always reply in good time, there have been times where we need something done urgently and they are very quick to get back to us with a solution. It's easy to download data and keep a record of how we are doing year on year. Cons It would be good if you could view more on the page at one time, for example filter some of the options when viewing entries like you can in excel but in the site. Other than that I have no cons! :) Review Source Response from Creative Force January 11, 2019 Thanks for the great review, Rosie! We do have the ability to customise every view to see more on the same list view. We'll be in touch in the next 10 minutes to show you how :) Bronwyn S. NEiTA Event Coordinator Financial Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Having used Raisers Edge I found changing over to AF so much easier and more intuitive to use." April 30, 2018 5.0 I can bring all my information together and export to Excel. I have the opportunity to learn as I go or with a consultants assistance and the software is very responsive to my particular award needs. Pros Processes are relatively easy as is replicating seasons. Pulling reports is an absolute joy compared to asking the database the right questions as you do in RE and any queries or challenges you may face are quickly fixed by the team of consultants. They're happy to show you, teach you or do it for you. I also really like the ability to choose what you can see. Cons It can be tricky at times like all software however, by working slowly through the problem and with the assistance of the consultants, the majority of challenges can be worked through Review Source RL Reef L. Project Assistant Higher Education Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "\[sensitive content hidden\] is the best!" March 19, 2025 5.0 My overall experience with Award Force is very positive as it is a very powerful tool. Pros They have the best customer service! They help out very quickly and always help me fix my problems. Cons It is a little bit tricky at times and dives very deep. Review Source CP Corinne P. Senior Manager, Programs and Education Broadcast Media Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review of Awardforce" March 2, 2024 5.0 Extremely positive. When I joined our organisation last year, I had only ever used Awardforce as an external judge. I needed a lot of support, some of it urgent, and the team were absolutely reliable and incredibly helpful. \[sensitive content hidden\] in particular has dug me out of multiple holes and her patience, combined with granular knowledge of the product, has been a godsend. Pros I love that the system is highly customiseable, and responsive to our needs. The fact that it is so customiseable makes it easy to make mistakes - but the robust customer support and configuration support mean any mistakes I make are quickly spotted before launch. Cons We use the platform for Awards, and for Scholarships and Grants. Some of our scholarship programs used to be run on the Awards section. We are moving them to Scholarships and Grants. However, historic applications are stuck in the Awards section, and I have had to build the forms again from scratch. Review Source Response from Creative Force March 4, 2024 Dear Corinne, Thank you so much for your kind review! We love to hear that Award Force has been so highly customisable to your needs. And thank you also for the kind words for our client success team. We love to support your program! - Lindsay at Award Force GC Gillette C. Consultant International Trade and Development Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The support on Award Force is the best I have EVER experienced" August 21, 2019 5.0 I inherited an open Award season to manage and was able to come up to speed fairly quickly due to the intuitive nature of the platform and the SUPERB support I got from Award Force e.g. one on one training calls, common help tips embedded in the platform (ie don't have to go to another screen and back and forth but can take action in the platform with the tips right there on the same screen), and extraordinarily fast responses to my emails asking how to do certain things. I am managing our 2nd season and it is going very smoothly and I am digging deeper into the functionality that is available. This is our team's second year using the platform and it works extremely well for the needs that we have and I highly recommend the SW if you need to manage an Awards program. Pros The program is fairly intuitive so the learning curve is not too steep. And for the times when I have needed help, the response time and quality of support is unparalleled in my experience. I send an email, within a few hours no matter what time of the day or night I send it, someone from around the globe answers me. If further assistance is needed e.g. a call with someone, it can usually be set up within a day or two of my request. And the quality of the support is excellent. The staff are extremely knowledgeable of the product and understand the questions from a user or functionality perspective vs providing technical-speak. It seems that often times tech support for other SW I have used is staffed by technical wonks who write the code and make the bells and whistles but don't have a real understanding of the business or user function so the support comes from that perspective rather than understanding what I am trying to do and then providing a solution. Another thing that I use all the time is importing to excel to run reports. In this way, I can always have a user friendly aggregated view of what is on the platform depending on what I am needing. I love this ability to have offline access and I know some of our judges have also made good use of being able to download PDF versions of entries that they can review on the go and then come to the platform to enter their scores and comments. Cons I have come across some small functionality that I would like to have such as a bit more ability to "pretty up" my email broadcasts or filtering by 2 different dimensions to randomly assign entries for judging. With that said, the SW really addresses so many of our main needs that these issues are not an issue and I have been able to create workarounds if needed. Reason for choosing Award Force I was not involved in the procurement process for Award Force. Review Source Response from Creative Force August 22, 2019 Thank you ever so much for your raving review, Gillette! We can't stop the high fives :D We will continue to improve and add time saving features so you can continue managing and growing your program year on year! IL Ingrid L. Systems Coordinator Higher Education Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "After the learning curve: the relief!" October 19, 2020 5.0 It was not quite so easy on the Admin end because the system is complex and allows for many configurations, but the customer service is stellar! I got replies to my queries regardless of day or time within a few hours, and even had a few video calls. I am a fan ! Pros We use it to allow design students to upload their work at the end of the year. Setting the system up to meet our requirements was challenging because there are so many options, but once it was configured the students found it very easy to upload their work, and even sent some fan mail. They could revise their entries up to the deadline, we could specify the acceptable file types and everything worked smoothly. We also invited reviewers to comment on the work , that too was very easy on the user end. Cons There are a few odd things here: it is , for instance, not possible to sort all entrants by their last name, only by their first. If a judge is already in the AF system they have to use their previous password to log in which can cause confusion. With the help of AF we set up an algorithm that randomly assigned student work to reviewers and you would think that it would be easy for the computer to do this evenly, but it turned out that the some judges got only 10 assignments and others as many as 16. One complaint judges had was that they did not get any sort of confirmation after they completed the reviews that were assigned to them. There were a few questions I did not know to ask at the initial setup. I DID ask if there was a file size limit for the upload (the answer is no) but I did not ask if the file sizes have an effect on the download. The answer here is: yes, definitely! This may not matter for users who deal with text files, but in the design world files get big, and when I tried to download all the work to local drives it turned out that large files (almost ALL of ours) could not be downloaded in bulk, but in batches of about 10, and extra large ones had to be done separately, This is almost a deal killer, but hopefully can be avoided next time with file size limits during upload. MY number one item on a wishlist: create an option for a one stop download of ALL selected files. Reason for choosing Award Force As far as I could tell most features were similar, but we chose AF because it gave us the option to let students edit their uploads until the deadline. With the other system they would have had to email me and ask that the previous entry should be deleted, then they could re-upload. A nightmare scenario! Review Source Response from Creative Force October 22, 2020 Thank you for your honest review, Ingrid! As much as we love fan mail, we also like to hear about the pain points of our clients. Bulk downloading is a slow process for sure and we have some ideas to optimise and improve it in the future. Some other interesting insights too which have been passed on to the Product team. AJ Alexandra J. Creator Engagement Associate Entertainment Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Judging Tool with Outstanding Customer Service!" December 13, 2023 5.0 Overall, our judging team LOVED AwardForce and we're looking forward to using it next year again! Pros We were incredibly excited to implement AwardForce as we needed something to revamp our judging processes. The customer service provided was phenomenal- truly the best my manager and I have ever had. Whenever you have a question, the team is there to support you. Our contest was quite complex and has been running without the help of the judging software for several years so we were thrilled to know AwardForce was there every step of the way to ensure our contest was successfully built out on their platform. Shoutout to Marco - a wonderful customer service rep on this team who met with us for our one-on-one support sessions! Cons There were several things we would have liked to see on AwardForce, little "nice to haves" that would have made certain finicky parts of our contest operations a bit easier, that we were unable to make work with the current platform. Some examples include: - A way for judges to sort their assignments in VIP judging from highest to lowest score without needing to navigate to the leaderboard - Allowing commenting at every judging phase, including PASS/FAIL rounds - Having YES/NO dropdown fields instead of numerical 0/1 dropdown fields when evaluating submissions However, I know the product team is always implementing new features so I feel confident that the product will continue to get better and better with time! Review Source Response from Creative Force January 8, 2024 Thank you so much, Alexandra, for your kind review! We're so glad to hear you've found our customer service helpful! We've noted down your "nice-to-haves" for our product team. In the meantime, you might consider adding a qualification round to your judging, which would have that yes/no option you're looking for. You can also allow comments here. You could add this round to your existing VIP judging round.

Communications and Marketing Manager Government Administration Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Award Force helped our program become completely digital. The entire process worked so well. " June 13, 2018 5.0 Ease of time on the administrators end. Ease of use and uploading ability to make all things electronic on the users end. Wrap up after the award process was so simple! That was the best part. Even though there is a cost that we didn't have before, our organization found that the benefits outweighed the costs. We needed to be all electronic and needed to alleviate the time component from the administrators, who are all volunteers. This program did that for us. Pros The ease of use on the user and the administrator ends was great. The administration learning process was not complex and Award Force staff took the time to train us. The entry process for the users worked so well. It was simple! The part that sold our organization was the wrap-up portion. We didn't have to do much of anything and the program did it for us. Our members could login and see the winners' entries. This saved our admins a ton of time compiling award winners and sending them out to everyone. That was an amazing process! I would definitely recommend this, and have, to other organizations if they want to go all digital and have a simple back-end process to administer, and help the users get their information entered and then received quickly. Cons Like any software, you have to learn it. It takes a little time at first to learn, but once you do, it is not hard to utilize. The Award Force team was very helpful through that process, though. There are some unique ways to find information within the software, so it just takes working with it to gain an understanding. The payment system was something that we had to inform our membership of, since this software is based in Australia, when using an United States credit card, it is best to charge all entries at one time and not individually, as they card will question foreign purchases and possibly shut the card off temporarily. This happened to us, but once we realized why, we explained it to the membership and then it worked fine. Review Source MR Mialy R.

The support that needs to be email than a zoom call. I had around 30 email exchanges with support this year which is not efficient on our side - Last year was much better, two zoom calls resolved my issues Review Source Response from Creative Force February 19, 2024 Hi Mialy, thank you so much for the review! We appreciate your candor and it's reviews like these that drive our efforts at continuous improvement. We work hard at reducing as many bugs as we can and learning from client feedback like this. Thanks so much for trusting Award Force as a tool in your project applications, and we look forward to better serving you as we move forward in our partnership.

February 7, 2024 4.0 It's good but it could be better. The terminology isn't as straightforward as it could be. It would be great if there could be a website widget for nominations just to make life easier for nominators. (I manage the website) Pros The team are insanely helpful and lovely. I spent years working in CS so I really appreciate good service! Cons The ease of use could be better. There seem to be multiple places to edit the same content which is just weird. Overly complex in places. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Mentor Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "The customer support is wonderful. They are very prompt, and accept numerous inquiries. " January 21, 2018 4.0 The customer service was wonderful, and it spoke to salesforce well overall, despite the hiccups we experienced collectively. Pros I like the fact that the layout of the content is organized and visually appealing. (concept tabs for example) Also, the dashboard, side panel with all the features, and checklists are helpful. Cons The foreign DOB text box is not conducive to many of the US teams we work with. Also, I wish the videos were more directly accessible and embedded within the software so I was more likely to use it instead of constantly asking the team for support. Review Source Response from Creative Force January 22, 2018 Thank you for the lovely review! Perhaps you aren't aware that some months ago we introduced an option to set your preferred date format instead of the default international standard. Please reach out to our support team if you need a hand setting that. You might also just check with them about the videos - if I understand you correctly, you can reach all our support and training videos via the "Need a hand?" tab at the right of the management screens.

January 10, 2023 5.0 From the initial conversation about the software and its capabilities to entering our first grant cycle, it has been a great experience. I have recommended this software to countless other foundations looking to streamline how they do grants. Pros We only do a once-a-year grant award so the price seems reasonable for what we do. It has been a game changer for us. Previously we had lots of spreadsheets and it took one staffer a great deal of time to get the packets together. Then, it was reams of paper to get a copy of each grant into the hands of our judges. Now, it is as easy as entering some basic information and the program is virtual! Cons Setting up year two was a bit confusing and required that we set up a time to chat with customer service. Once did that, everything was good. Reason for choosing Award Force price and ease of use Review Source EH Eileen H. Senior Manager - Membership & Projects Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Business to Arts - AwardForce" July 23, 2020 4.0 Pros We really like the ease of copying entries for entrants, to make it easier for them to submit multiple entries (if eligible). The variety of judging options is also very helpful, enabling us to select the best type of judging for that particular instance, rather than doing a workaround on a static judging process. Cons While there isn't a lot I don't like about AwardForce, it would be helpful to provide an accessibility colour checker/palette - we recently changed sponsor, so had to change the theme colours, and it was difficult to test the colours with all of the design nuances, to ensure the theme a) looked good and b) was fully accessible to people who have eyesight challenges. Review Source AG Andy G. Trade Marketing Manager Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "A fantastic platform from which to run our annual awards program" December 15, 2017 5.0 Use of this software has greatly eased our administrative processes in managing our annual awards program. It has greatly improved the entry process for entrants. Pros Having previously run our annual awards program via submission of hard copy entries from entrants in 2017 we moved to use Award Force software - allowing us to build a custom online platform via which entrants could submit their entry portfolios, and we could easily manage the process from the back end/administrative end of the entry portal. A seamless operation - and very easy to use - allowing us to monitor rate of entry, auto respond to entrants, and obviously the great benefit of being able to digitally store a huge amount of data/info instead of our previous headache of having excessive paper copies. The software has been exceptional value for money. Award Force provided excellent upfront training in how best to use the software and also provided an excellent back up service for any small glitches that might arise in initial use. All in all it has been a fantastic purchase for our organisation and one which we wish we had probably made a number of years ago! Highly recommended. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Executive Assistant To Chief Executive Officer Used the software for: 2+ years ### "This is my second year using Award Force and the experience just gets better and better. " April 19, 2018 5.0 From an administrator perspective it is easy to use and nice and clear. For those externally who use it again their user experience is always positive. Pros The software itself is easy to use and easy to navigate. Due to its clean look and feel you cant really get lost. To change or update anything it is all clearly labelled and where as you may forget what order to do it in the customer service is first rate and their knowledge and helpfulness is second to none. Cons I don't think there is anything not to like. I use other software programmes for HR and payroll and tI wish they were as easy to use as Award Force. Review Source LB Louise B. Head of Awards Broadcast Media Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Award Force Review" November 23, 2020 4.0 Great! Very supportive, efficient and helpful customers service experience with all the Award Force team, coupled with an easy user experience and set-up process. Pros The ease that entrants can create and submit their entries and the ease that we can track their progress and monitor incoming revenue. Cons From time to time we do pick up on small errors or system glitches that interfere with live judging sessions - this tends to be related to 'system maintenance' Reason for choosing Award Force Great features and best prices. Review Source RH Robert H. Executive Director Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A great platform for creative contests" July 26, 2021 5.0 Exceptional. It is costly for a small nonprofit like ours, but it saves me, our entrants and judges so much time it is worth the cost. Pros The AwardForce platform is very intuitive and easy to use. The Tech Support is fantastic and I never fail to have questions or issued addressed very quickly. The one-on-one instruction is very much appreciated. It is easy for our entrants and judges to navigate. Cons I had to get Tech Support to help me with connecting our billing platform. That was not quite as intuitive as the rest of the platform.
