Managing Your Entry

Every entry on AwardKit gets a dedicated page. After submitting, you receive a confirmation email with your entry number (such as "E-014") and a link to it, and the program page lists it under Your Entry whenever you visit. Everyone you list as a team member gets their own email with the same entry number and link.

What you can do

From your entry page, you can:

• View your full entry: name, summary, every answer with embedded videos and uploaded files (with the alt text and video descriptions you wrote), team members, and categories
• Edit your entry while entries are open, using the Edit Entry button
• Track its status in the Status card: Entry number (the code to quote when you contact the organizer), Submitted, Last updated, and whether it is Editable, plus a Deadline approaching! notice as the close date nears
• See payment details if the program charges a fee: the Amount, any tax, the Tier (the pricing period) and Pricing (your entrant type) when they apply, any Discount, and when it was Paid. Once paid, View invoice (or View receipt when no tax was charged) opens the document for your records. See Paying entry fees
• Pay or complete a payment with Pay balance, Complete payment, or Restart payment, depending on the state
• Submit another like this: open a new entry form prefilled with your answers, team, and categories, shown while the program still lets you enter more
• See awards won after results are published, displayed with award badges
• Access certificates for each team member with Add to LinkedIn buttons (see Certificates)

Editing entries

Click Edit Entry on your entry page to update any of your responses. Edits are saved when you submit the form. Once the organizer closes entries or the deadline passes, the Edit Entry button disappears and your entry is locked.

Everyone on the entry's team can edit it, not only the submitter. A team member opens the entry with their own email (see Getting back to your entry) and gets the same Edit Entry button. If a teammate saves while you have the form open, you are asked to reload, so nobody's work is overwritten.

If you need to make a late edit (typo in your team list, broken link), reach out to the organizer. Organizers can edit entries on behalf of entrants even after the deadline.

Getting back to your entry

There is no password. Open the entry link on any device and, if you're not already recognized, the page shows Get back to your entry: click Email me a code, enter the 6-digit code from your inbox, and the entry opens. Every code is single-use and fresh. If you set a password on your AwardKit account or use Google, Sign in another way takes you to the sign-in page.

The code only works for an email address on the entry: the submitter's, or any team member's. Team members can open the entry the same way.

If you can't find the email with your entry link:

1. Open the program page and click My entries at the top. In the Find your entries dialog, enter your email and the code you receive: with one entry, it opens; with several, the program page scrolls to your list of entries
2. Ask the program organizer; they can look up your entry and send you the link

Reading your feedback

When the organizer shares feedback with the results, a Feedback card appears on your entry page: From the judges lists the judges' written comments and From the audience lists the comments public voters left, without names on either. The card only appears when there is at least one comment to show.

Sharing your entry

Your entry page is private to the people on the entry: anyone else who opens the link is asked for a code they cannot receive. To show your work publicly, point people to the program's entry gallery once the organizer opens it, or to your certificate.

For a public, shareable record of an award you won, share your certificate verification page. Each certificate has a unique public URL anyone can visit. See Certificates and awards.
