Badge configuration

In Award Force, badges can be used to highlight certain entries. For example, you may configure a gallery and wish to show which submissions earned Gold, Silver, or Bronze awards as shown below.

Badges can be configured as either text or images and are available on every judging mode. For additional information on how badges can be applied to judging, see the Badges in judging section of this guide.
