Did you know that many awards entries are abandoned before they're ever submitted - not because the work wasn't strong enough, but because the entry process was too frustrating?

A smooth, well-designed submission experience makes a real difference: it builds trust, encourages stronger entries, and keeps people coming back year after year.

In our latest blog, we explore what a great entrant journey looks like - from first impressions through to that all-important confirmation email - and why getting it right is fundamental to running a credible, competitive awards programme.

Behind every great event, project, and campaign are the people who put their hearts into it ❤️

That's why we at AwardStage are absolutely thrilled to have partnered with the micebook Awards 2026!

This year’s awards have been designed to look beyond day-to-day roles, and celebrate the people shaping the MICE industry.

As the platform provider behind the scenes, we’ve had a front-row seat to the sheer amount of hard work and talent poured into this year's entries. Now, we have two massive dates circled in our calendars:

🏆 This week:
The official 2026 Finalists will be revealed.

🏆 On 25 June:
Awards night at The Chancery Rosewood from 6pm onwards!

It’s going to be a spectacular event that celebrates all of your hard work 🤩

Heading to the seaside for the (allegedly sunny!) May Bank Holiday? Before you drop your beach towel, make sure it’s an award-winner! 🏆

Keep Britain Tidy has just crowned the winners for the 39th annual Blue Flag Awards, just in time for the long weekend.

If you want a guaranteed world-class beach day, look out for the iconic blue flag flying at spots like West Wittering (celebrating a massive 30 consecutive years of winning!), Roker Beach in Sunderland, or North Norfolk’s famous coastline.

What makes a beach "Blue Flag" status? It’s not just a pretty view.

Managed globally by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), it’s a strict gold standard. To earn one, beach teams must pass a rigorous judging process covering:

🌊 Pristine water quality (tested independently)

🌊 Top-tier safety (lifeguards & first aid)

🌊 Flawless environmental management

The judging is no walk on the beach, either. After a mountain of paperwork, mystery assessors turn up unannounced during the season to inspect everything from litter to facilities.

As awards-management geeks here at AwardStage, we have a huge appreciation for this level of rigorous attention to detail. It takes serious year-round hard work to win one of these, and we love seeing that excellence recognised!

Wishing everyone a fantastic bank holiday. And all fingers and toes crossed for that sunshine🍦!!

Who's the unsung hero in your NHS supply chain? 🏥

The Health Care Supply Association (HCSA) Awards are officially OPEN for entries, and we couldn't be prouder to be the platform behind the scenes.

NHS procurement and supply chain professionals are the heartbeat of healthcare, ensuring that frontline staff have what they need to save lives.

The people keeping hospitals stocked, contracts running, and frontline staff equipped rarely get the recognition they deserve. These awards exist to change that.

🏆 Recognise excellence. Champion your team. Celebrate the impact.

Key Dates:
• Entries Close: 14th September 2026
• Shortlist Announced: 8th October 2026
• The Big Night: Gala Dinner, 19th November 2026

AwardStage is powering the entry process this year — built to make submissions straightforward, not a chore.

Nominate a colleague or enter your team today - don’t let great work go unnoticed!

Is your awards ceremony still all in one room? Here's why that's changing - and why it's a good thing 👇

Hybrid awards ceremonies have come a long way. What was once a necessity is now a genuine strategic choice - and for good reason.

Think about it: no venue capacity limits, no travel barriers for finalists, reduced costs, a smaller carbon footprint, and richer data on how your audience actually engages.

But there's a catch. Hybrid only works when your remote guests feel like real participants - not people watching through a window.

That means designing your running order, camera angles and interactions with them in mind from the very beginning. It means investing in your tech, planning the winner moment just as carefully for the screen as for the stage, and making sure your virtual audience is featured in your post-event content too.

We've written a practical guide to making hybrid awards work - from the case for going hybrid to the details that make the difference.

Read it here: https://www.awardstage.com/blog/hybrid-78acz?utm_source=Facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=hybrid_blog&utm_term=blog_link

If you run or manage an awards programme, we'd love to know - have you gone hybrid yet? What's worked (or not)?

Standard features on every plan:
