"Streamlined Award Management Made Simple"
5/5
What do you like best about Award Force?

I really appreciate that Award Force is clean, simple, and easy to use. Even new staff members have quickly become comfortable with the system, which has a really good user interface. It eases the whole process of organizing an awards event, allowing people to submit their applications and nomination forms effortlessly. The platform makes it easy to collect learner entry data and communicate quickly and effectively with nominators. I really liked how it lets me remind people who haven't completed application forms through the broadcast list quickly. The initial setup was really simple, and the support from the team was good and really helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Award Force rewards you with more time!"
5/5
What do you like best about Award Force?

The platform’s simplicity combined with truly best-in-class customer support accessibility. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Award Force?

At times, it can take a bit of effort to locate specific features, as some items in the sidebar are more deeply nested—though I understand the need to keep the interface clean and streamlined. Thankfully, the help search is always easy to find! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great features but needs simplification"
4/5
What do you like best about Award Force?

It's good at collecting data effectively and covers all bases. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Award Force?

It took a few years to understand how it works as it's very complex. Finding how to edit different areas took a long time to get my head around. It's helpful now there is a pencil icon to dive straight into the area you need to edit. However things like the interface text was hard to find. For one award, all the fields, description, and interface text is all located in different areas. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effective All-in-One Platform for Award Management"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Award Force?

I find Award Force to be a really effective platform. It's like a one-stop shop for us, managing everything from payments to a platform for judges to review their entries. I really appreciate the feature that allows setting up different rounds in our judging process as it's crucial for how we manage things. Also, the initial setup of Award Force was relatively straightforward and easy, which was good overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Award Force?

"Powerful Customizable Forms Once You’re Up and Running"
4/5
What do you like best about Award Force?

Once the forms are set up and tested, the process to collect and review submissions works very well. Almost all settings can be customised to the users' needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Award Force?

The learning curve when first setting up the platform is steep. A lot of settings are divided up in ways that may not be obvious to someone who's never used it before. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Award Force does it all!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Award Force?

Award Force is super customizable and allows us to really tailor the platform to our needs. We're able to process thousands of entries every year and seemlessly manage a team of 50+ contractors to review our entries. We switched from Submittable so not only are we saving money, but we're also improving our systems! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Award Force?

MAILCHIMP INTEGRATION PLEASE. This would be lifechanging for updating mailing lists more easily and live time.

When selecting how many entries to view on one page, I would love more options. Specifically options for 20 entries at one time. We assign stories in batches of 20, so that would be super helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Lindsay Nash of Award Force

Hi and thank you so much for this amazing review! We love to hear how Award Force has met your needs and helped improve your system! For the Mailchimp request, you can integrate it today via Zapier! A native integration is also on our roadmap. Thank you for the feedback! - Lindsay

What do you dislike about Award Force?

The only problem we have had is having to explain several times to users to submit their nominations. This is a user problem not necessarily the system. Cost for a not for profit I is a it big Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
