Program Page
The program page is your award program's home on the web. Customize the description, categories, awards, sponsors, and rules. Use it as the link you share with potential entrants.
Your program page is the public-facing home for everything an entrant or sponsor needs to know: what the program is, what categories they can enter, what awards they can win, the deadline, and how to submit. It's the link you share in your marketing emails, social posts, and member newsletters.
Program navigation
When you open a program, the left sidebar lists everything you manage, in this order:
- Overview: the program dashboard with the timeline, description, prize structure, and cover preview at a glance
- Entrant pages: edit the public program page (description, timeline, branding, visibility) and build the entry form
- Categories: define the categories entrants choose, the awards you give out, the entry fee, pricing tiers, discount codes, and the prize currency
- Entries: every entry submitted, with filtering, search, and CSV import / export
- Judging: voting method, criteria, judges, and optional audience voting
- Results: leaderboard, winner assignment, and publishing
Archiving, deleting, and usage limits live at the workspace level, not on the program itself. See Workspaces.
Setting up the public page
The public program page is generated from your settings. To customize it:
- Open Categories and configure your categories, awards, and entry fees.
- Open Entrant pages and add a description (markdown supported), set the timeline (entries open / close, results announced), and add a cover image.
- When you're ready to share, copy the Program Page Link from the Program Links dropdown in the top-right corner.
Your program page is gated by a visibility toggle under Entrant pages. Keep it off while you build, then flip it on when you're ready for entrants to see it.
Running the program year after year
Most awards programs run on annual cycles. To launch next year's program, create a new program in the same workspace and rebuild the structure (categories, awards, criteria) the way you want it. The setup work you did the first time still pays off because you know the right shape for your program: 5 categories, 4 weighted criteria, the entry form questions that worked.
To bring last year's panel and entrants forward, use judging CSV import for judges and entries CSV import for any prior entries you want to surface (for example, a "previous winners" reference category).
