Entry System

Custom, streamlined entry system built around your workflow. We adapt to your needs and keep it simple for your entrants.

Admin System

All the information you need about entries, entrants, credits, judging and winners at your fingertips. View online or via Excel.

Quality Control System

Upon upload, files are automatically scanned to ensure they meet specs. Later, files can be screened and approved in the QC system.

Online & Live Judging

Whether judging happens online or live, in one or multiple rounds, our simplified judging system records and calculates scores instantly.

Entry System Philosophy

Keep it simple. Entrants should never have to enter the same information twice. Each entry is a reference to a unique submission. Input credits and upload files once. The submission can be copied into multiple categories.
No roadblocks. Entrants have a lot to do in a short time. They should never be stopped in the middle of the entry process. Missing mandatory credits or files? No problem. Input what you have and keep moving.
Once is enough. When credits are edited or a file is replaced, changes are automatically reflected in all entries that reference that submission. No need for extra work.
Easy payments. Integration with the credit card processing service of your choice ensures payments are immediately posted to your account. Entrants makes one payment that covers all costs and the fees. Other payment methods such as check or bank transfer can also be offered.
Help along the way. Throughout the entry process, helpful "tips" guide the entrant to the next step. If an entrant has problems with formatting files properly, they can e-mail AwardCore support directly for expert help.
