AwardForce is a US-based awards management platform aimed at large programmes.
Accolade is the right choice if you want UK/EU data residency, transparent pricing, and the operational stack (table planner, run of show, sponsors, finance) under one roof. AwardForce is a fit for very large awards programmes that only need the nomination and judging flow.
Awards under 20,000 entries that also need event production, sponsor management, and finance.
Very high-volume submission programmes that already have separate event production tools.
