Introducing Evalato 2.0 — the biggest awards management update yet

We're proud to launch Evalato 2.0 — the biggest update in Evalato's history. This isn't your run-of-the-mill feature drop or a routine release. It's a ground-up rethink of how the software looks, feels, and performs for every part of the awards management experience: for you, your entrants, and your judges.

A faster, smarter admin experience

The admin panel has been completely redesigned — and the difference is immediate. 

• Faster everything. The admin panel is now up to 3 times faster, whether you're managing 10 entries or 100,000. 
• Full mobile support. For the first time, the complete admin experience works on mobile — the same precision, on whatever screen you're on.
• Cleaner navigation. Overhauled to stay out of your way and let you move through the platform faster.
• Build for complexity. Category and form management now supports tree-like structures built for programs with thousands of categories.

Entry management, rebuilt from the ground up

The entry table has been completely revamped to deliver maximum ease of use. 

• Better sorting, filtering, and instant in-table search mean you find what you need without scrolling through noise.
• The single-entry view gives you more registration context in one place.
• Search across the platform now returns up to 20 results per object — entries, registrations, and more — so nothing gets buried.
• Built-in entry feedback lets you add comments and change requests directly on the entry; applicants see them right above their submission, cutting out the back-and-forth email chain.

A better experience for your entrants

• Registration form loads faster, reducing drop-offs before completion.

• A cart view lets entrants see every category they've added before registering — no surprises, fewer mistakes.
• New field types give you more control over the data you collect and give entrants a cleaner way to submit it.

And for your judges, too

Judges now log in with a magic link, which means better security without the friction. They click, they're in, they judge. Given how much time gets lost to login issues during judging windows, this one change will quietly save a lot of it.

Your brand, front and center 

Every email that goes out to entrants and judges now carries your program name and logo — reinforcing your brand at every touchpoint in the awards journey. 

Winner galleries, meanwhile, have been upgraded with more sorting and grouping options to give results the showcase they deserve, and grow your program’s impact.

A new look for a new chapter

Evalato 2.0 comes with a refreshed identity: new logo, updated colors, overhauled navigation, and a brand new website. The visual language has been rebuilt to match where the product is now — and where it's going.

Same Evalato. More of everything.

Everything you already trust about Evalato — the quick setup, the ease of use, the 5-star support — is still here. Evalato 2.0 just makes it faster, sharper, and more capable at every step of the awards lifecycle.
