What it is
AwardStage helps organizers run awards programmes, from collecting entries or nominations to judging and assessment. Organizers can build an awards landing page or full website with a drag-and-drop builder, then make forms with different field types and category-specific information. Entrants can save drafts and upload documents, video, or audio. Judging tools support rounds, juries, entry allocation, multi-criteria scoring, and anonymous judging. Stripe integration handles online entry fees and event ticket sales; a ticketing module is also offered on every tier as a paid add-on. Standard costs $2,835 a year and supports up to 249 submissions, 30 categories, 50 judges, five administrators, and 10GB of file capacity. Pro costs $4,221 a year and supports 250–999 submissions, up to 100 categories, unlimited judges, administrators, and file capacity. Both listed prices reflect a 10% discount through 31 October 2026. Enterprise pricing is by contact. A 14-day trial provides full access without payment details. AwardStage runs on Android, iOS, and web.
