Content Creator Awards
South Africa’s creator awards
One platform runs the whole awards season.
We built the Content Creator Awards everything the season runs on: the public site, entries, voting, judging, invitations, the guest list and check-in at the door. Their team runs all of it from one admin.

Everything we built, in the order the season runs.
From the day the site goes up to the night the winners walk on stage. Tap a stage to jump to it.
All year
A home for the awards, all year round.
We built the site the awards live on. Every award has its own page with its criteria, dates and sponsor, and the news, key dates, nominees, winners and photo galleries sit around them. The team changes all of it from the admin.
Reveals on the clock
Nominees, menus and sponsor logos change at set times, and a matching rule in the database keeps them hidden until then.
Awards the team can edit
Titles, criteria weights, close dates and even the entry form questions, with no developer needed.
A private press pack
Accredited media get a link that expires, and the nominee pack stays locked until the reveal.
News that shares well
Every article gets its own branded image when someone shares it.
Winners, past and present
Winners by year, each with a profile page, and photo albums from the events.
Made for phones
A tab bar for the main pages, and images sized for every screen.
Entries open
Entering takes ten minutes, not an afternoon.
Creators sign in with a code sent to their email, so there is no password to forget. A step-by-step form asks only what their award needs, saves as they type and stays open to edits until entries close.
No passwords
A six-digit code by email, or a PIN they choose.
Saves as they type
Drafts wait in their own dashboard, ready to pick up later.
Real follower numbers
Built to connect YouTube, TikTok, Instagram and X accounts and read the counts straight from the source.
Checked before judging
The rules run first, then an AI check that a second pass tries to prove wrong. The team makes the final call.
The public decides
Public votes that stay fair.
Five of the twenty awards go to the public. Voters give their details once and then vote with a single tap, up to fifty times in each category, and the database itself enforces every limit.
One tap per vote
Details on the first vote, then a single tap for each vote after that.
Built to stop scripts
A human check on the first vote, hourly limits, and no raw IP addresses stored.
Opens and closes on time
Voting starts at the reveal and stops on the closing date, with nobody at a keyboard.
Nominated by the public
The People’s Choice Award starts with a public nomination form, and the tally merges spellings of the same name.
The judges score
Judging that keeps every judge in step.
Judges apply or are invited, sign a pledge and score the entries in their categories against the published criteria. On judging days, each room follows the entry on a big screen while every judge scores it on their own device.
Shown with sample data.
From application to panel
Judges apply on the site or get an invitation, and the team builds each panel by category and city.
Weighted scoring
Each criterion carries its weight, and the final score works itself out.
Conflicts caught
A judge who entered the category, or shares a name, email domain or handle with an entrant, is flagged and can step aside. The database refuses a conflicted score.
Works without signal
Scores wait on the device and sync when the connection comes back.
Live judging rooms
Several rooms at once, each with a screen that shows which judges are done.
Results side by side
A roundtable view and a report for each category, with every judge’s score in one place.
Invitations go out
Every email, from first draft to the inbox.
We built a campaign engine into the admin. The team writes an email or asks for an AI first draft, picks who gets it, sends a preview for sign-off and sends. Big sends finish in the background.
The right audience
One-click groups such as unfinished entries or a province, or a list from a spreadsheet.
Approved by link
The client opens a private preview, with no login, and approves it right there.
Reminders with manners
Nudges for unfinished entries come with a cooldown, stop after three and respect every opt-out.
Email health
Every send is logged with what it looked like, and bounces and complaints are handled for them.
Shown with sample data.
The replies come in
One guest list, and it adds itself up.
Guests reply from the private link in their invitation, plus ones included. The team sees who is coming by guest type, adds a guest or edits a reply in seconds, and the totals stay right.
Shown with sample data.
Add guest and Edit
Add someone who replied by phone, or change any reply, right on the list.
Plus ones counted once
A plus one who also replied is matched by name and email or cell, and counted once.
Totals that add up
Guests by type, tickets sold and the total attending, with dietary needs by head.
A list for every event
The press launch, Creator Labs and the awards night, each with its own list.
Speakers sorted
Talk pitches, a speaker brief the team edits, and an attendance form.
Surveys after
A survey builder with eight question types, opened and closed in one click.
On the night
Check-in at the door is one tap.
Door staff open check-in on a phone or tablet, type a few letters of a name and tap the guest in. If the signal drops, the check-in waits and goes through when it returns.
Shown with sample data.
Find anyone fast
Search by name, email or cell.
Expected, in, still to arrive
The numbers at the top move as guests walk in.
Walk-ins in seconds
A new guest is added and checked in on the spot.
Who let them in
Every check-in records which team member made it.
Behind it all
One admin for the whole team.
Everything on this page runs from one place, from entries and judging to guests, email and sponsors. Each person sees only what their role allows.

- 38 screens in nine groups
- Roles
- Entrant, judge, admin and presenter

Shown with sample data.
Sponsors see what they got
Every promised deliverable tracked to proof, a dashboard per sponsor, and a report that only goes out once the team confirms it.
Press coverage, read for them
Upload a press monitoring export, AI turns it into rows, and a person checks each one before it counts.
Roles that hold
Admin accounts only for approved email domains, and nobody can change their own role.
Traffic without cookies
Page views counted with no cookies and no personal data stored.
Privacy built in
Anyone with an account can download their data or delete it, and every marketing email has an unsubscribe.
A record of who did what
Check-ins and giveaway marking record who did them, and every AI call is logged.
