Every award in Awardica is researched from the ground up. We gather application requirements, deadlines, eligibility criteria, fee structures, judging methodologies, and publisher backgrounds — and we keep them current as awards evolve year over year.
We don't scrape and forget. Each record is reviewed editorially to ensure accuracy before it reaches you. The goal is simple: give every marketer the same intelligence that a specialist researcher would spend days assembling — in seconds.

Intelligence scores
Not all award data is equal. We use three tiers of sourcing, and we show you exactly which level applies to each award — so your confidence in the data matches ours.
Every award starts here. Our team researches directly from the award's official website, application portal, and press materials. This is the baseline for all records in our database — no third-party aggregators, no guesswork.
A member of the Awardica editorial team has independently cross-referenced this award against multiple sources — press coverage, industry databases, and direct application experience. Editor-verified records have the highest data accuracy in our system.
The award publisher has directly confirmed key details with Awardica — including deadlines, eligibility criteria, and application requirements. Publisher-verified awards are the gold standard: the people running the award have vouched for what we show you.
Some awards exist primarily to collect entry fees — offering little real recognition value in return. When our editors identify a program as misleading or predatory, it receives a prominent warning on its detail page explaining exactly what we found. These awards are also excluded from AI-matched recommendations, so they never surface as suggestions for your company.
Our AI match scores aren't just about fit — they're about confidence. When an award is publisher verified, we have higher certainty about its eligibility criteria, which means more accurate matching. When an award hasn't been verified, we widen our uncertainty window to avoid sending you after an award you can't actually win.
How verification improves matching
Sourced from award
Match score based on published criteria — accurate in most cases, updated each cycle
Editor verified
Criteria cross-checked — reduces risk of outdated or misread eligibility requirements
Publisher verified
Criteria confirmed directly — highest confidence match, tightest scoring window
Discovery
We identify awards through industry publications, publisher directories, PR Newswire, and user submissions. Every candidate is evaluated for relevance and credibility before entering the review queue.
Research
Our editors research each award end-to-end: application portal, eligibility rules, fee structure, judging process, and media coverage.
Rating
Each award receives a 0–100 prestige score, a 5-star quality rating, and a pay-to-play risk assessment based on selectivity, judging transparency, and entry fee relative to recognition value. Awards we've identified as misleading or predatory are flagged with an editor warning — and suppressed from AI recommendations entirely.
Ongoing maintenance
Award deadlines, eligibility requirements, and fees change every cycle. We review every active award at least annually — more frequently for high-prestige programs — and flag any data that may be outdated.
