- Alexandre Spehler: Founder
AwardKit is an all-in-one award management platform for organizations that run competitions, award programs, and recognition initiatives. It covers the full lifecycle: branded program pages, custom entry forms, entry fee payments through Stripe Connect with zero commission, multi-round judging with weighted criteria, audience voting, published
results, and winner certificates.
The platform is built for award program managers at trade associations, industry publications, and professional organizations running programs like industry excellence awards, "40 Under 40" lists, and design competitions. These programs recur annually, and AwardKit is priced for that: a flat $1,995 per year covers unlimited programs, entries, and judges in one workspace. Building and testing a program is free; payment is only required when entries open.
Programs go from signup to accepting entries in under 30 minutes, with no demo call required to start, see pricing, or launch. AwardKit is built on the production-proven engine behind HackHQ, a hackathon management platform that has powered competitive events for Y Combinator and Cursor, along with companies and universities, adapted for the awards market's longer timelines, entry fee economics, and annual cycles.
