Award Management from nomination to trophy
Categories, eligibility rules, nomination forms, judging panels, scoring rubrics, shortlists and the ceremony itself.
ORBIT Award Management supports award category configuration, self-nomination and third-party nomination forms, automated eligibility and completeness checks, judging panel assignment with conflict-of-interest declarations, weighted scoring rubrics, blind and multi-round evaluation, shortlisting and finalist notification, embargoed winner announcement, certificate and trophy tracking, and ceremony logistics including RSVPs and seating.
Award programmes live or die on the credibility of the judging. ORBIT gives you a structured nomination process, eligibility rules that enforce themselves, judging panels with declared conflicts, weighted scoring rubrics and multi-round shortlisting — with a complete audit trail behind every decision. Then it runs the ceremony night: seating, RSVPs, certificates and trophies.
