How to launch your first awards programme

Decide the shape

Pick one programme, a handful of categories, and a closing date. You can add more later. Plans differ in how much you can run, not in what you can do, so start simple.

Create the organisation

Sign up, name the organisation, then create the programme. You do not need a card. You can build for free for as long as you like, with up to three programmes. Choose a plan when you are ready to go live.

Build the form

Add the questions you actually need. Mark the field that becomes the entry title. Turn on fees only if you will charge.

Invite judges after you have entries

Judges see what you assign. Set conflicts and anonymisation before you open a round, not after scores are in.

Publish when you are ready

Shortlists and winners stay off the public site until you publish. Check the preview first.
