June 2, 2022 5.0 Pros It is customizable, user-friendly and provides great value Cons No specific cons come to mind at the moment Review Source TS Treena S. Events Manager Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Saskatoon Chamber's SABEX Awards " November 18, 2025 4.0 Awardify has been a great tool to ensure that we provide an authentic adjudication process. The feedback has been positive for those using the application form as well. Pros The platform is very user friendly from an administrator, judge and applicant. I enjoy that it is customizable. The tech support and assistance has been very valuable and greatly appreciated right from the start. Cons Sometimes it is a bit tricky adding logos to certain pages. I would also recommend when making edits to the to either have the info automatically saved or move the SAVE button to the top of the page. Switched from [Formstack Forms](https://www.capterra.com/p/118892/Formstack/) It didn't do all the things we needed and wasn't very user friendly. Review Source ED Ellie D. Head of Events Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A Powerful, User-Friendly Solution Backed by Exceptional Support" April 9, 2026 5.0 Overall, our experience with Awardify has been extremely positive. The platform has significantly streamlined our awards process and allowed us to manage a large-scale program with confidence and efficiency. While there are a few areas that could be improved, they are minor compared to the overall value the system provides. With the continued support of \[sensitive content hidden\], and ongoing platform enhancements, Awardify remains a key partner in the success of our awards program. Pros User-Friendly Interface: The platform is intuitive for both administrators and submitters, making it easy to navigate through submissions, edits, and uploads. Customizable & Flexible: Awardify allows us to tailor categories, questions, and workflows to fit the unique structure of the GOHBA Housing Design Awards, which is a huge advantage. Seamless Online Judging: The judging process is efficient and fully online, allowing judges from across Canada to participate easily while maintaining fairness and consistency. Data Management: Tracking entries, managing submissions, and exporting information is reliable and organized, critical for a program of our size. Continuous Improvements: The platform is always evolving, with updates and enhancements that show they are listening to client feedback. Exceptional Customer Support: \[sensitive content hidden\], our customer representatives, has been absolutely amazing. They are incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, and proactive in helping us find solutions. Their support has truly elevated our experience with Awardify. Cons Limited Flexibility in Certain Reports: Some reports (particularly around user information and submission requirements) feel slightly rigid and could benefit from more customization or simplification. Minor User Experience Gaps: At times, the user journey for submitters could be streamlined further to reduce confusion, especially for first-time users. Backend Adjustments Can Take Time: While support is excellent, some requested changes or customizations are not always immediate and may require additional turnaround time. Review Source MJ Mayla J. Events Coordinator Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Pretty meh, it'll do the job I guess." August 27, 2025 3.0 This is my second year using the software, and I've made recommendations to ease the flow and use of the software, but nothing has changed. They just told me today that there is no work around the 'approvals' I need to do, I have over 200 entries that I need to go into one-by-one and select approve on... It's adding unnecessary hours of work. The menus on the dashboard are also a mess, and unintuitive. They list a whole page of supposed 5 star reviews on their website, but I wanted to make sure folks knew they're a bit of a mess to work with. Pros I like that it's canadian-based, and it's fairly easy to reach the staff. The landing page looks good. Cons Unintuitive navigation, poor stop-checks, difficult to navigate through the nomination-submission-judging process. Review Source Response from Aspen Films April 9, 2026 Thanks for the review Mayla. We’re sorry for the frustration and appreciate your feedback. Your suggestions have been shared with our support team and we're always striving to make Awardify more user-friendly. LN Liza N. Master Electrician Marketing and Advertising Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Outstanding Customer Service" February 28, 2026 5.0 I would use them again and advise others looking for awards software in this price range to do the same. Pros For the price, Awardify delivered on the most important needs for our awards competition, including automation for submissions, judge sign-ups, scoring, and winner determination. When we needed support or something extra, \[sensitive content hidden\] were highly, highly responsive and accommodating. We were incredibly impressed. Cons The interface/UX could use improvement, and it didn't allow us to award a first, second, and third — only first.

" November 14, 2025 4.0 We were very pleased with our first year with Awardify. We are excited to use the platform again and will continue to explore capabilities within the software. Pros Awardify customer support was vey helpful and the training calls were extremely helpful! The platform is easy to use and user friendly both for our internal team and our nominees. Cons Awardify did everything we needed it to do, but I know that if we scaled our programs, we may want a more robust platform to include automation and document repositories. Alternatives considered [Award Force](https://www.capterra.com/p/148148/Award-Force/) Reason for choosing Awardify Pricing and features we required for the stage of our organization Review Source ME Michelle E. Director of Membership Engagement Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Hilton Head Area Home Builders Association Review" April 16, 2026 5.0 This is our second year using Awardify, and the experience has improved significantly. During the first year, there was a noticeable learning curve as we became familiar with the platform and its features. Now, in our second year, everything feels much more intuitive and easier to manage. We have a better understanding of how to navigate and customize the system to meet our needs. Overall, we are very pleased with how accommodating Awardify has been, especially in helping us tailor the platform to fit our specific requirements and ensure a smoother, more efficient process. Pros \[sensitive content hidden\] are a pleasure to work with. They are attentive, responsive, and truly take the time to listen to client needs. More importantly, they follow through by taking action to ensure the platform is tailored to meet specific requirements. Their willingness to adapt and make adjustments creates a smooth and collaborative experience. Cons There has been somewhat of a learning curve when it comes to customizing and navigating the platform effectively. At first, understanding where everything is located and how different features interact can feel a bit overwhelming. However, with continued use, the layout becomes more intuitive and easier to manage. Taking the time to explore the available tools and settings helps build confidence and improves overall efficiency. While the initial experience may require patience, the platform ultimately offers a range of useful customization options that enhance usability and allow for a more personalized and streamlined workflow over time.

March 27, 2026 5.0 I have experienced Awardify as an admin user for our organization's own awards, as well as served as a judge for other awards programs, and in both circumstances I found the interface to be user-friendly and convenient. Pros Awardify has streamlined the nomination and judging process for our annual business awards program. It significantly decreased the amount of administrative time required for these processes by providing a central collection and viewing point for submissions while also automating nominee and judge communications. Cons I felt the public-facing event page piece was unnecessary; however, it could be of value for organizations that do not have their own website. Review Source Response from Aspen Films April 1, 2026 Thanks for the great review Erica, glad you find the platform easy to use and beneficial. As a side note, the pubic-facing event page is optional, and can just be left off the site if its not a benefit to you. Thanks again! LS Laney S. Executive Director Architecture & Planning Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Awardify Review" April 23, 2026 5.0 It has been great. \[sensitive content hidden\] and his team are always right there if we need them And we would recommend this product to others Pros It seems to be pretty user friendly and the cost is relatively good. We think all the features are great! Cons Still need behind the scenes tech help - but that’s ok. \[sensitive content hidden\] is easy to work with. So really no complaints Review Source PW Pat W. Owner Apparel & Fashion Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Highly recommend " April 9, 2026 5.0 I am very happy with Awardify and the support team. The way you can customize the program is great, from the colours to how you want nominations handled. Pros Awardify support staff are the best. Always willing to answer questions and walk through the answers. The software makes awards shows so much easier to manage, judging is easy and seamless. I would highly recommend using Awardify for any award gala! Cons Set up was a bit overwhelming at first but having the support we needed, we made it through. Using the “how to” videos on you tube made the set up doable. Review Source Brad D. Graphic and Web Designer Events Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A great tool for awards and more" May 14, 2026 5.0 We have used Awardify for several awards seasons (8 now, I believe) and it has proven to be a powerful and highly adaptable platform for our needs. It is nice being able to combine the nomination, entry, and judging requirements together. Pros It's a very flexible platform and the developers have done a great job of implementing feature requests and responding to questions/help requests. Cons I feel like the nominee process could be made a little more user-friendly, perhaps with some kind of guiding process to make entries easier to complete. Review Source DP David P. CEO Events Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great experience!" October 16, 2025 5.0 We are on our 5th year, absolutely enjoy using it.

It is flexible to different sized Chambers and needs. Cons Unsure. We only have it to compare to as an option. Review Source EA Emilia A.

Pros It was very easy to nominate businesses, fill out the forms and then of course, judge. It was great. Cons There was a learning curve to where stuff is located and what everything is called that I still have to review but you'll get there! Review Source BA Brock A. CEO Public Relations and Communications Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "I recommend Awardify to anyone who is looking to improve and grow their awards program.

" August 17, 2022 5.0 We love using Awardify and are 100% behind the purchase of this platform. Fantastic features, easy to implement, and has simplified our workflows. Pros We were excited to find a Canadian made solution to our Awards needs. Awardify has all of the requirements to run an awards program with ease including uploading, easy saving, sponsor management, judging management, and event management. Compared to other competitors, Awardify is an easy choice to make.

But the core features outweigh those wishes. Reason for choosing Awardify Cost for features, Canadian made, reliable customer service.
