The Fraser Valley Music Awards are an annual Awards Event organized by CIVL Radio. The awards, now in their tenth year, are an initiative of CIVL Radio, the University of the Fraser Valley’s campus and community radio station, and were first hosted in July 2016 after a year-long grant project funded by the Community Radio Fund of Canada.
Features
Challenge:
CIVL Radio dreamed big: a super-powered system for the Fraser Valley Music Awards. They wanted to implement a comprehensive system to serve two primary functions:
- To display all relevant event information, such as prizes, deadlines, and general details, to the public
- To incorporate a sleek form module for artists to submit nominations, and for judges to pick the winners.
Action:
Discotoast helped design the new site, and then built the new FVMA site on our Radio Fusion theme.
Result:
Now, with the streamlined system in place, artists can easily navigate to the dedicated sign-up module on the FVMA website. This user-friendly interface allows them to submit their applications, upload necessary materials, and provide all required information directly through the platform, eliminating the need for manual submissions or complex off-site processes.
Designated judges are granted secure login credentials, providing them with exclusive access to the voting module. Here, they can review submitted nominations, evaluate the artists based on predefined criteria, and cast their votes efficiently within the system, ensuring a transparent and organized judging process.
