With Traditional Nomination Tools

  • Multiple nomination systems are inevitable.

    Most corporate nomination management solutions begin and end with entry collection. Tracking, judging and logistics must be handled by hand, via email or on spreadsheets.

  • Look and feel is random.

    Many online award nomination software platforms force entrants to a seemingly unconnected site to upload their materials. This confuses users – and even costs associations revenue when submissions are abandoned.

  • Information is scattershot.

    Who’s started an entry? Who’s completed one? Which judges are finished? Which haven’t started? Without real-time reporting and analytics, it’s almost impossible to tell. And if you’re not informed, you can’t make informed decisions.

With OpenWater Nomination Software

  • One system is all you need.

    With OpenWater Award Nominations, all tasks – by entrants, judges, chairs and administrators – are handled in one unified, fully integrated solution.

  • Branding is consistent.

    When you use OpenWater corporate nomination platform, our team creates a custom-branded upload portal that matches your existing website and visual identity. Users will know they’re in a place they can trust.

  • You’re always in the know.

    OpenWater nomination software has advanced analytics capabilities that eliminate confusion and simplify internal and external communication. Key reminders are sent automatically, and it’s easy to tell the status of any action item
