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.
Tabs in the dashboard
When you open a program in the dashboard, you'll see six tabs across the top, in this order:
- Categories: define the categories entrants choose, the awards you give out, the entry fee, pricing tiers, and discount codes
- Program Page: edit the description, timeline, branding, and visibility of the public page
- Entries: every entry submitted, with filtering, search, and CSV import / export
- Voting: judging method, criteria, judges, audience voting
- Results: leaderboard, winner assignment, and publishing
- Settings: usage limits, prize currency, archive, delete
Setting up the public page
The public program page is generated from your settings. To customize it:
- Open the Categories tab and configure your categories, awards, and entry fees.
- Open the Program Page tab 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 of any tab.
Your program page is gated by a visibility toggle in the Program Page tab. 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).
