AwardKit is web software for managing award programs, recognition initiatives and judged competitions, from collecting submissions to publishing results. Organizers can create entry forms with conditional questions, autosave, save-and-resume, and image, PDF or video uploads. Judges score entries through personalized links without accounts, using weighted criteria that organizers can configure. A program can use judge-only scoring, audience voting, or both. AwardKit calculates scores and supports assigning winners, publishing results and exporting rankings with judge feedback as CSV files. Entry fees go through Stripe Connect to the organization’s Stripe account, with no AwardKit commission. AwardKit says it uses HTTPS/TLS, encrypts stored data, hashes passwords and offers two-factor authentication. A free plan and free trial are available. The paid AwardKit plan is 1995.00 USD per year, billed annually, with unlimited programs, entries, judges, audience voters and team members. Organizations with 500 or more entries are asked to contact AwardKit.
