KumulAwards is a web platform for managing award programs through branded portals.
What KumulAwards is
KumulAwards is a web platform for managing award programs through branded portals. It covers entry submission, judging, shortlisting, winner selection and reporting. Entrants can choose configurable categories, fill required fields, upload documents and images, and receive submission confirmations. Judges receive assigned entries and criteria, can save draft scores, and may be required to provide comments. Committee administrators can review submissions, track judging, shortlist and rank entries, select winners and produce reports. Clients can configure portal logos and colours and use either a KumulAwards subdomain or an optional client-owned domain. The platform describes layered access checks, including signed-token validation, program membership checks and role authorisation. Developer and platform-support functions require MFA and shorter sessions. Client program data, resources and configuration are designed to remain separate from unrelated tenants, while sensitive operations can be recorded for review. KumulAwards is initially focused on organisations in Papua New Guinea and the Pacific, while also describing itself as suitable for other markets. Pricing is on request; prospective customers can request a demonstration, with workflow mapping before a setup recommendation.
