eAwards

What eAwards does

eAwards, operating as a brand of Scenovia Pty Ltd, is an Australian-headquartered SaaS provider of online awards and recognition management solutions. The company's core offering is a customizable, database-driven Online Submission and Judging System that handles the full awards lifecycle — entrant submissions with multiple file attachments (documents, images, video, audio), segmented password-protected gateways for administrators, judges and entrants, web-based scoring with automatic tabulation and averaging, and integrated secure online payments. The platform is web-based and browser-compatible (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari), processes approximately 20,000 annual online submissions and judging events, and serves government agencies, industry associations, and corporate clients across Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK, and Singapore.

The company's product portfolio extends beyond the core submission and judging system into complementary modules: an Online Ticketing solution for gala events (charging a 3% platform fee plus 1.99% payment processing fee per ticket), Custom Payment Gateway Setups (one-time integration with Eway, Westpac Payway, PayPal, and St George Bank merchant accounts), Secure Web Hosting, Microsites Development and Marketing, Programme Consulting, and Custom Software Development (e-commerce, membership management, event registration, and bespoke database solutions). The technology relies on 128-bit SSL encryption for transaction security, automated email communications, and 24/7/365 web access.

Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring subscriptions (submission/judging software and web hosting), transaction-based fees (ticketing at 3% + processing), one-time setup and license fees (payment gateway integration, custom software development), and professional services (programme consulting). Go-to-market is direct enterprise sales via phone (1300 959 555), email, and website enquiry forms, supplemented by industry association memberships (ARAA, Meetings and Events Australia) and organic social media presence (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn). The company operates with 11–50 employees from Werribee/Melbourne, Victoria, with no external funding disclosed and operates as a wholly owned subsidiary of Scenovia Pty Ltd under Managing Director Homer Bassig.
