A centralised web platform that unifies award applications, ticketing, and custom event websites across multiple award programs.

The Challenge

What they needed

Precedent Production runs multiple award programs and events, each with its own applications, ticketing, venues, and websites. Previously, managing these moving parts meant juggling separate tools and manual processes, making it difficult to scale, ensure consistency, and respond quickly to program changes. The challenge was to build a single platform that could handle award submissions, jury review, ticket sales, venue management, and dynamic program websites—while still allowing each edition and event to feel tailored.

The Solution

What we delivered

We partnered with Precedent Production to design and build a centralised event and award management platform. At its core is a flexible web application and headless CMS that powers application forms, ticketing flows, content, and custom websites for each program. The platform enables administrators to configure new editions, update content, manage venues and capacity, and launch tailored program sites without starting from scratch each time. For participants, it provides a seamless experience from applying for awards through to purchasing tickets and viewing outcomes.

Our Approach

How we got there

Our approach focused on modelling the full lifecycle of an award program—applications, review, ticketing, event delivery, and post-event communication—and turning it into configurable building blocks. We implemented a dynamic form system so application workflows can adapt to each new edition, while still feeding into a consistent review and jury process. For events, we built ticketing and attendee management into the same platform, removing the need for external tools. On the content side, we integrated a headless CMS and front-end templates so each program can have its own branded website with dynamic elements like countdowns, key dates, and program updates. Throughout, we prioritised scalability and administrator usability so the platform could support growth across Australia.
