Spotlight
Student union awards are a huge moment for your student community — but running them is a logistical nightmare if you're doing it through email and spreadsheets. Spotlight gives you a dedicated platform for the full awards lifecycle: nomination portals that students can actually find, judging panels with structured scoring, shortlist management, and ceremony tools for the big night. Your awards team spends less time on admin and more time making the event feel special.
What's included
How it works in practice
Spotlight in action
Students nominate via a public portal — Spotlight collects, deduplicates and organises submissions automatically, with no manual data entry.
Judges score nominees through a structured panel view, with weighted criteria your committee defines — no more email chains of spreadsheet attachments.
On awards night, your host uses Spotlight's ceremony mode to reveal winners in real time — synced with your display screens.
