Awards judging software for panels that need real scores
Give every judge a private, structured scoring workspace — then let NominationPro aggregate the results for you. No spreadsheets, no chasing reviewers, no arguments about the math.
How judging works in NominationPro
From panel invitations to a signed-off winner, in one workflow.
Invite judges with role-based access
Send email invitations to your judging panel. Reviewers get their own secure login and only see the nominations assigned to their categories — never admin settings, billing, or other judges' notes.
Score against structured criteria
Each judge scores every nomination on a 0–100 scale with private notes attached to the record. One review per judge per nomination keeps the panel honest and prevents duplicate or overwritten scores.
Aggregate results automatically
Average scores, review counts, and reviewer progress roll up in real time on the admin dashboard. Filter, sort, and export the full scoring table to CSV, then mark the final winner in one click.
Built for defensible evaluation
The controls a judging panel needs to stand behind its results.
Separation of duties
Admins configure categories and select winners. Judges score. Nominators submit. Each role is enforced server-side, not hidden in the interface.
Private until you decide
Scores and reviewer notes stay invisible to nominees and to other judges. Results are released only when an admin publishes the outcome.
Evidence in one place
Nominees attach supporting documents and portfolios to their entry. Judges open every file from the same review screen — no email threads or shared drives.
Judging questions, answered
What is awards judging software?
Awards judging software gives an evaluation panel a single place to read nominations, score them against defined criteria, and combine those scores into a ranked result. It replaces spreadsheets and email chains with structured, auditable scoring.
How many judges can score one nomination?
As many as you invite. NominationPro records one review per judge per nomination and averages every submitted score, so a panel of three or thirty aggregates the same way.
Can judges see each other's scores?
No. Reviewer scores and notes are private to that judge and to program admins, which keeps evaluations independent.
How are winners selected?
Admins review the aggregated scores on the dashboard and set the winner for each category. Scores inform the decision; the final call stays with the program owner.
