By default, Award Force allows entrants to create and submit unlimited entries. If your program requires limits, you can restrict:
- The total number of entries per entrant
- The number of entries per category
These limits can be used independently or together.
Limit the total number of entries
To restrict the total number of entries an entrant can submit across the entire program:
- In the Manage workspace, go to Settings > Entries > Form settings
- Open the 'Advanced' tab
- Enter a value in Maximum entries per entrant
- Click Save
This limit applies across all categories combined.
Limit entries per category
You can also restrict how many entries an entrant may submit within a specific category.
- In the Manage workspace, go to Entries
- Click Edit form
- Select the category from the drop-down (or click + to create a new one)
- Click the category settings icon
- Scroll to the 'Advanced' section
- Enter a value in Maximum entries per entrant in this category
- Click Save
This limit applies only to the selected category.
Copy entries
Entrants and program managers can copy existing entries if the feature is enabled. Copied entries can be useful when entrants want to submit the same content to multiple categories.
For full instructions, see the guide: Copying an entry.
Good to know
- Entry limits can be configured per program and per category.
- Category limits can be used with or without a program-wide limit.
- Copied entries are always created with the status 'In progress'.
- Entrants must complete and submit copied entries before they count toward any limits.
