What we did
Following a three-way pitch, Frontmedia were successful in winning the bid to create the brand new World Architectural Festival (WAF) website for it's inaugural event in 2008.
The site has expanded continuously since it's inception as the event has drown to become one of the worlds leading architectural events. We have continued to maintain the site for emap continually adding extra functionality to both the front and back-end.
The awards entry system it self is pretty complicated, but we've managed to streamline everything for the user to make entering the awards as simple as it can be, right down to providing each entry with unique barcoded stickers to apply to their entry boards. These barcodes are then read with a standard barcode gun at emap towers when the boards arrive, enabling the event organisers to instantly check which entries have been received.
