We use three tiers of sourcing and show which one applies to each award, so your confidence in the data matches ours.
Sourced from award
confidence 1/3Every award starts here. Our team researches directly from the award's official website, application portal, and press materials. No third-party aggregators.
Awardica editor verified
confidence 2/3An Awardica editor has cross-referenced the award against press coverage, industry databases, and direct application experience. This catches outdated deadlines and misread eligibility rules.
Publisher verified
confidence 3/3The award publisher has confirmed deadlines, eligibility criteria, and application requirements with us directly. The people running the award have vouched for what we show you, which makes these our most accurate records.
Pay-to-play flagging
Some awards exist mainly to collect entry fees and give little recognition back. When our editors find a program that is misleading or predatory, it gets a warning on its detail page and is excluded from AI-matched recommendations.
Match scores measure fit and confidence together. Publisher-verified awards give us tighter certainty about eligibility, so the match is more precise. Awards we can only source from the publisher's own site get a wider uncertainty window, so we don't send you after something you can't enter.
Sourced from award
Scored on published criteria. Accurate in most cases, updated each cycle.
Editor verified
Criteria cross-checked, which lowers the risk of outdated eligibility rules.
Publisher verified
Criteria confirmed directly. Tightest scoring window.
Discovery
We find awards through industry publications, publisher directories, PR Newswire, and user submissions. Every candidate is checked for relevance and credibility before it enters the review queue.
Research
Our editors work through each award end to end: application portal, eligibility rules, fee structure, judging process, and media coverage.
Rating
Each award gets 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 weighed against what the recognition is worth.
Ongoing maintenance
Deadlines, eligibility requirements, and fees change every cycle. We review every active award at least once a year, more often for high-prestige programs, and flag anything that looks out of date.
