Founder Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use for small awards events" May 2, 2022 5.0 Pros The software was easy to purchase and configure - we went live in less than 8 hours with a self-guided implementation. Cons More flexibility in the award nomination pages would be useful Alternatives considered [Judgify](https://www.capterra.com/p/160569/Judgify/) Review Source KP Kate P. Marketing Executive Publishing Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Easy to use, helpful support staff, sleek and professional looking site" September 18, 2017 5.0 It saves us time and reduces the risk of human error from using excel spreadsheets as we used to. Pros The features can be adapted for your specific needs - e.g. we used it to get responses from off-site 'home-testers'. It is intuitive and easy to use. It is easily customisable to match the theme of your awards program - everything from the banner on emails sent from the site to the colour of buttons when you hover over them can be changed by the user, which is great. Cons Sometimes when you click save, or close, or back on your browser it doesn't take you back to where you are expecting. The support staff are very helpful and normally very quick to respond, but it can be a bit disconcerting that some of them are based in Canada. Review Source SG Sandra G. Founder & Director Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Essential Awards Software" October 19, 2019 5.0 Saving time Ease of administration for entry and judging Pros Ease of entry for entrants Online review, approval and searching Scoring at shortlist and final judging stages Ease for judges to pre-review Ease of set up Cons Clunky in places Difficulty with 3rd party nominations and confusion re login Reason for choosing Award Force Cost, functionality and reviews Review Source Response from Creative Force October 22, 2019 Thank you Sandra! We are working on some exciting improvements which will make the system much easier to use. 3rd party nominations can be tricky on the Starter plan you are on but if ever decide to upgrade your plan, this will be very easy to set up. Just give us a shout and we'll be happy to assist! JH Jenny H. Event Manager Events Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "First time user" July 27, 2020 4.0 The customer support was fantastic! The response from the team was very quick and patient! They were so helpful with answering queries and suggesting alternatives to how I was going to do things. Whilst I found the setup frustrating, I can't wait till we run the awards again, it's going to be so easy!! Pros It's easy to navigate and coming from a manual awards system the time that was saved was unbelievable, especially when it came to judging. Cons I found it hard to visualise how to set up the system as a first time user, as there were no examples given for what I was looking for so the setup was a bit time consuming. Review Source AP Anne P. Event coordinator Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I organise a startup pitching competition and use AF for startups to register and judges to evaluate" September 12, 2017 5.0 Gain of time and professional image. Pros \- It makes my work so easier and allows me to save lots of time. The customer support team is always available and happy to help, the training was very clear. - It allows my competition to have a very professional image and adds value to it. Both startups and judges are amazed by the quality of the tool and the smooth, user friendly process. I also appreciate the fact that there are already instructions in the tool to explain users how to use it. Cons The only thing I think is that it requires a training and in case the person responsible in your team has to leave (or if you have 6-months interns which is our case), you have to train the person each time. Review Source DS Diana S. CEO Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Looks great, works well" July 23, 2020 4.0 It worked fantastically for us. Both for the applicants for our Awards and for our judges. The user feedback was very positive Pros It’s functionality and ease of sharing with multiple users Cons It is pricey for us as a not for profit (we are not a charity) and we have to renew our licence each year Reason for choosing Award Force On immediate review it looked like it would work for us. We found you just be searching on the Internet Review Source CH Caroline H. Scholarship Program Manager Education Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Award Force - Great Software and Awesome Support Too" April 6, 2019 5.0 With Award Force, the overall experience is a positive one. We can deal with applicants, scholars and judges so simply and with the same tool. We are a growing organisation and have chosen Award Force as we know it will grow with us. Pros We use Award Force for all our applications and surveys and it works just as well if we get 20 responses or 500! Creating surveys is relatively straight-forward and very logical and its great to use a software program that makes sense. Cons I am sure I don't use all the features to their maximum potential - but what I use is great. Review Source SB Sara B. Owner Event Management Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Efficient, Easy to Use Nomination and Award Software" January 4, 2021 5.0 Great. Exceptional. Pros Have used this product for 2 plus years. It is easy to set up, automate and both the nominators and the judges love the ease and use of the platform. It is very easy to change over each year, customer service is great and the responses to questions are easy to find in the help section. Cons I wish that I had the same rep for questions and help like I used to. Reason for choosing Award Force The ease of use, customizable link with awards program, ability to use for judging and nominations. Review Source OS Ouassila S. Head of Communication - Global Design Hospitality Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "User-friendly platform and professional support" March 26, 2021 5.0 From the first contact until the implementation of our awards, there's always been a support to help us understand how we can use the platform. Pros This software really answers our needs with regards to the organisation of our Awards. It is userfriendly, easy to understand, and the user support is very professional. Cons There is no possibility to sort the projects once they are reviewed. Would it be possible to have this feature so that the projects with the best results appear first? Review Source LT Lucy T. Accounts Admin Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great! After using another similar software prior to this, all I can say is this is so much better. " November 3, 2017 5.0 Pros User friendly and easy to export relevant information when need to go back to the site from the accounting point of view. Cons The Slush code - The payment ID should be the Invoice number for easy reconciliation especially if payment is being made by invoicing, sometimes weeks after depending on the publisher's payment cycle. Review Source BB Brittany B. Director of Marketing Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "AwardsForce is an outstanding platform, and is perfect for the different awards programs we run." May 1, 2018 5.0 Pros AwardsForce is very user-friendly. From setup to judging, each step is intuitive and laid out in a smart way. I love that we're even able to do a sanity check, just to verify we didn't miss a step. Throughout the whole process, the AwardsForce team is quick to help with any questions we might have. Overall great platform! Cons I wish it was easier to preview what your attendees see on the back end, but there is a step where you can do "test entries" which definitely helps. Review Source SM Sophie M. Marketing Manager Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Fantastic, easy to use system " September 30, 2019 5.0 The system looks amazing and is great value for money. The support team were great and always very happy to help. Our applications came through easily and never had any issues. Our judges also loved the easy judging system. Pros I was so easy to set up - and the bits that were slightly more confusing were easily explained b the amazing support team. Cons I took ages to add in each category and link it to the judges section. Reason for choosing Award Force The team were super helpful and had a good sales pitch. Review Source PK Paul K. Producer Motion Pictures and Film Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great Customer support" July 12, 2021 4.0 Pros The customer support has always been on point and that to me is one the most important things. Thank you! Cons It could use a little more branding options internally. Review Source GS Grace S. Commercial Executive Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great" May 15, 2018 5.0 Pros Very easy to use. Perfect for our awards programme, to track all of our entries and to share them amongst our network. I like how you can personalise the programme with company branding. Cons The names for sections on the awards can sometimes be confusing - i.e fields, integrations When looking at the entries it would be nice to filter by entry Status Review Source Response from Creative Force May 22, 2018 Thanks for the positive review, Grace. You can filter by entry status from the 'Manage entries' view. We'll have someone from our Client Success team to get in touch with you asap and show you how you can use the status filter along with many other helpful ones. You can see the 'Submitted' and 'In progress' numbers on the Dashboard too. AF Alexis F. Event Manager Events Services Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "The best user-friendly awards platform I've used so far - makes my project enjoyable and hassle-free" September 11, 2017 5.0 Pros The interface is super user-friendly and if I need help, I search the topic on the need help wizard and quickly get an answer without having to bother anyone. If I do need customer support, they are amazingly friendly and respond quickly! Anyone can use this platform without a crazy amount of training, it's efficient and cost effective as well. I would 100% recommend this software to anyone who provides awards. Review Source HD Heather D. Senior Communications Manager Pharmaceuticals Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "AwardForce is intuitive. The fabulous support team makes it easy to become an expert in no time!" January 24, 2018 5.0 It was fast and easy to launch and manage our awards program. Pros It's really intuitive. It only takes a couple of times creating a field to get the hang of it. After a couple of short sessions with my primary support contact, I was up and running. She has also been available to trouble shoot or ask questions along the way. The team also customized a field for our organization, which simplified the end-user experience. As a result of the user-friendly software together with the outstanding support, I was able to launch, manage and complete the judging of my awards program quite easily. Cons The analytics dashboard is pretty basic. We wanted much more comprehensive analytics, so we exported the data into a different program. If you want the basic data and trends, you're set with the AwardForce Dashboard. This is a nit, but I don't like the font that is used across the whole platform, and it is not possible to customize the font. Other than that, I can customize the look and feel as much as I desire. Review Source LC Lynne C. Health Value Awards Manager Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "A reliable way to keep track of our awards finalists' applications" May 2, 2018 5.0 Ability to track applications for awards Pros The software turned out to allow audience voting, something we wanted to capture, along with our finalist applications. We had several tabs highlighting categories of information that can be readily accessed. Cons Not really a con, but exploring the possibility of adding a survey. Exploring the answer options for short answer, multiple choice. Someone had suggested survey monkey. Review Source LN Laura N. Event Manager Management Consulting Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Award Force is a great tool to use!" February 12, 2019 5.0 Pros Award Force did everything it was supposed to do. And when things went a bit curly from our end and we needed to change tactic - the award force team were on hand to support us with what we needed to do. Very efficient program and easy to use. Cons Some of the set up was a little repetitive but easy enough to do when you know how. Review Source JC Jan C. Consultant Aviation & Aerospace Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Wide functionality & good value for money" November 2, 2020 4.0 We organised a competition and used Award Force as a protal to submit and judge applications. Worked as expected and dashboards were very useful when tracking the progress of applications. Pros There are many options to easiliy tailor your content which is very useful! Cons There was a bug which happened one day before the submission deadline, but support was quick and productive. Allegedly, the bug should be solved now - can't test. Review Source JD Joanne D. Publisher Media Production Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Award Force" August 6, 2019 5.0 As above, it saved time and resources for all involved Pros It made managing our awards program so much easier, saved time and resources for all involved Cons That it did not connect to our own database, so a bit of double up with manually transferring data. But this can get resolved when develop the AI. Reason for choosing Award Force It seemed to have all the functions that we needed, looked easy to set up and was really the only program we considered. Review Source JC Jane C.

Better Organization. Pros Easy to set up and then revise on the fly. Saved so much time judging compared to the older systems we have used. Loved that one of the features we needed this year was something that was being worked on and rolled out just as we needed it! Cons I really need to have more control over the payments and invoices. Need to be able to give refunds from inside the system. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer IT Manager Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Solved our problems" November 3, 2017 5.0 Saved me at least two weekends of data wrangling. Pros AwardForce allowed us to run a media-centric awards program with great ease. Entries, supplementary files and metadata were easy to enter and the entry flow nicely customizable. The judges found it easy, and on completion it was great to be able to download all assets as a zip and metadata as Excel sheet. Review Source HM Helena M.
