Who this template is for

Awards Judging Scorecard Form is built for small teams who need a reliable intake process who need to collect the same complete information from everyone.

  • Small teams who need a reliable intake process working in awards, contests & voting.
  • Teams who need to collect the same complete information from everyone without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing chasing missing details over email with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are the people you send it to — the form asks them 16 questions across 3 screens.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of chasing missing details over email and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 9 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It records a signature you can keep as proof of agreement.
  • It measures sentiment on a numeric scale.
  • Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Splitting the form across 3 pages keeps each screen short and shows respondents how much is left.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “Do you have a connection to this entrant?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Describe the connection”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Are you recusing yourself from this entry?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “Reason for recusal”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “Flag this entry for moderation?” is Yes, the form dynamically exposes “What should the panel discuss?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features skip logic: if “Are you recusing yourself from this entry?” is Yes, respondents jump straight to “Scores” and skip everything in between.
  • All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

Questions about this shared form

Can judges score several entries?

Yes — one submission per entry, using the entry reference. The export then groups naturally by entry and by judge.

How are conflicts handled?

A declared connection opens a description, and recusing opens a reason. A recused scorecard carries no marks, so it cannot pollute the average.

Can I weight the criteria?

Weight them when you average the export — keeping the raw marks on one scale is what makes weighting possible afterwards.

Should judges see each other's scores?

Not before moderation. Collect independently, then discuss only the entries that diverge.

Is the Awards Judging Scorecard Form template free to use?

Yes. You can preview and test Awards Judging Scorecard Form on this page without an account, and take a copy into your own HelloForms workspace on the free plan. There is nothing to install and no card required to publish it.

The template captures a drawn signature and stores it with the submission, along with the timestamp, so you keep evidence of who agreed and when. Whether that is sufficient depends on your jurisdiction and the agreement itself.
