How awards programs can recognise excellence in architecture
Architecture is much more than a building on a plot of land. It reaches beyond the necessities of shelter to strive to become a work of art and a reflection of our zeitgeist. Recognition of good work helps evolve the industry and foster credibility for new players. It can also help inspire future generations to find their own voice and learn from the giants who came before them.
How to detect plagiarism
Credibility is critical for every business endeavour. But it’s even more fundamental in an awards, grants or submission program where evaluating content is a central focus and where plagiarism is a threat to program credibility.
And, unfortunately, it’s easier than ever for someone to steal content that is not theirs.
Award Force + disability
According to the World Health Organisation, 15% of the world population, roughly 1 billion people, live with disabilities. This is an incredibly large community of people that are easily excluded if an application does not consider them in their design.
Award Force has been designed for all types of users, and that includes people with disabilities.
Attachments… more than just paperclips
Attachments in Award Force are not just a paperclip on the side of an input box. They are a fully fledged power tool which gives you, your team and your program participants an exceptional experience, leaving you wondering “why doesn’t everyone handle attachments like that?”
Award Force GDPR functionality
How exactly does Award Force protect you and your participant data?
Complying with GDPR may not be relevant for you— in any case, we still encourage best-practice protection of personal data wherever you are. There are likely to be other data protection laws that do apply to your organisation.
Column + export management
One of the key focus areas for Award Force has always been in the details. We understand that even the smallest details make all the difference to the experience you and your participants have when interacting with the Award Force software.
Keep everything on track with broadcasts
It takes program management superheroes to coordinate all of the moving parts in a recognition program. All participants, from entrants and judges to you and your team are on a timeline and ensuring it all gets done within that timeline is critical.
