For publishers
Claiming your award listing
How publishers verify ownership of an award on Awardica and gain access to keep it accurate.
Updated
If you run a business award programme, you can claim its listing on Awardica to keep the details accurate and add information that helps entrants decide whether it's worth entering.
Why claim your listing
Claimed listings show a verification badge. Entrants can see that the information — deadlines, fees, judging process, submission questions — has been confirmed by the publisher rather than researched from public sources. This makes your programme more trusted and more likely to attract strong entries.
How to claim
- Go to the award's listing on Awardica.
- Click Claim this listing at the bottom of the page.
- Enter your work email address at the domain of the publisher (e.g. if you run
acmeawards.com, you need an@acmeawards.comemail address). - You'll receive a verification email. Click the link to confirm ownership.
The listing is now associated with your publisher account. You can edit it from your Publisher dashboard.
Publisher dashboard
Go to awardica.com/publisher and sign in with your publisher account. The dashboard shows all the listings you manage and a quick summary of how often each is viewed.
What you can edit
Once claimed, you can update:
- Award name, description, and eligibility
- Entry fee and deadline
- Submission questions (so entrants can see what they're signing up for before paying)
- Judging criteria and process
- Past winners
You cannot remove a listing entirely or change the prestige and risk ratings — those are editorially set by Awardica.
Multiple awards from one organisation
If your organisation runs more than one award programme, you can claim multiple listings under the same publisher account. Go to Publisher dashboard → Add listing and repeat the verification process for each award.
Problems claiming
If the verification email doesn't arrive, check your spam folder. If your domain doesn't match the award's publisher URL, contact support — some programmes are run by a different entity than the primary URL suggests, and we can verify ownership another way.
