A new standard in complete awards show management.
One dashboard for the whole arc — call for entries, judging, curation, winner recognition, sponsors, comms. No more spreadsheets, lost emails, or drama. Built by the team that runs the shows on it.
People + Agencies 2026
People + Agencies is the show that honors the humans and shops behind another banner indie year.
Enter now →What runs the show.
Juried is the platform Indie Agency News built to run its own awards — then opened up. Same code, same data model, per-show configuration. Everything below is running in production, not on a roadmap.
PR firms and awards consultants manage a dozen client agencies. Traditional platforms force them to juggle a login per client — or worse, log in as the client.
One login, many client agencies. A PR firm spins up each client as its own agency, invites the client team, and hops between them from any page. Every entry attributed to the right agency, every submission logged under the right owner.
Recruiting, reviewing, confirming, assigning, chasing. Every year, from scratch. And once they're in, no way to see if any category is dangerously thin.
One workflow from application through Meet the Jury page. AI reads each applicant's background and suggests the top three categories they're best-fit to score — factoring in which categories still need bodies. A live coverage map colors every category red / yellow / green so you always know what to fill next. Captains, no-shows, alumni, broadcasts — all tracked.
Every category needs a different entry form and you're maintaining twelve Typeforms.
Per-category schemas — media limits, required fields, rubric — all rendered from one form. Autosave. Multi-category with one entry, deduped at judging.
Fairness that survives contact with 40 jurors and one very opinionated captain.
Rubric-driven scoring across jury rounds. Every promotion and demotion logged. The curator locks tiers; the audit trail keeps everyone honest.
The moment winners are announced, they want assets. You're in a shared Drive at 2am.
Configurable tier ladder per show. The moment a tier lands, the winner's assets page is live — badges, per-tier lockups, share copy, and video embeds if you use them.
You sold a category sponsorship and now you're hand-editing HTML to make the logo appear.
Sponsors linked to shows or specific categories. Attribution renders itself wherever the slot lives — landing, entry kit, category page, winner page.
The right email to the right person at the right moment. Right now, it's a spreadsheet and a prayer.
Transactional and broadcast — all through one Brevo-backed path. Judge kickoffs, tier reminders, support replies, winner announcements. Triggered by platform events, logged in one place.
Every show is different. Different dates. Different pricing tiers. Different judging rounds. Same code shouldn't hardcode any of it.
Dates, tiers, rounds, eligibility, tier ladder — all per-show, configured once, rendered everywhere. Add a show, don't fork the platform.
Dynamic pricing, member discounts, promo codes, pre-paid packs, international currency — pick one, build it, hope the rest work later.
All of them, out of the box. Stripe under the hood, adaptive pricing for international entries, pack credits at the organization level.
Every ticket is a forwarded email with no context.
In-app support widget. Screenshots inline, page context automatic, entry ID baked in. Every ticket lands in a queue you can work.
Want to run your awards on this?
We’re talking to a handful of awards operators about running theirs on it. Tell us what you run, what’s broken, and we’ll show you what this looks like against your show.
Only need the jury piece? Just the entry intake? Just the winner-assets portal? Fine. It’s modular — take what you need.
