Draft, under review.
Export first
Download your current categories, nominations, judges and form fields. Keep the files. We import an export; we do not log in to Evessio on your behalf.
Start building
Create an AwardRocket organisation and a programme that matches the year you are moving. Do not point your live domain at us until you have reviewed the mapping.
Review the mapping
We will match categories, nominations and judges where the fields are clear. Custom plugins, historic files and one-off columns need a check. Import is a later step — this guide is so you know what to prepare.
Cut over on a quiet day
Close entries on the old system, import, then open the new site. Keep the old export until the first results are published.
