Awards and award winners

Awards and Award Winners are both under Content in the left-hand menu. Awards is the programme itself (its rules, its nomination process); Award Winners is the people who've won it, year by year.

Setting up an award

1. Click Awards in the left-hand menu.
2. Click Create New.
3. Fill in the Title and a Description.
4. Set Submission Opens and Submission Closes — the website derives "open" or "closed" from these two dates.
5. Attach a Guidelines Doc, if you have one.
6. Set up nominations (see below).
7. Save as a Draft while you work, then Publish when ready.

Untick Active to retire an award without deleting it — its history (winners, description) stays intact. Members Only restricts the award's page to signed-in members.

Nominations

Two ways to collect nominations, and you can use either:

• Nomination Form — a form built in the CMS (see Site forms and submissions). The preferred approach going forward.
• Nomination Form URL — a link to an outside form (JotForm), kept as a fallback during the transition to the CMS's own forms.

Recording a winner

1. Click Award Winners in the left-hand menu.
2. Click Create New.
3. Fill in First Name and Last Name — these combine automatically into the record's title.
4. Choose the Award they won and the Year.
5. Add a Location and Photo, if you have them.
6. Optionally write a Bio — useful for something like a "REALTORs® to Watch" profile.
7. Click Save.

Who can do what

Both screens use the same access: any signed-in user can create, edit and delete. Neither is role-restricted the way Pages or News is.
