CASE STUDY
How NCSEA centralized a global engineering award program
The National Council of Structural Engineers Associations (NCSEA), which represents over 10,000 structural engineers, runs an annual worldwide award program that celebrates engineering ingenuity across eight categories. With Submittable, their small team is able to centralize and coordinate it all, without having to pull late nights or track down missing checks.
Before Submittable, marketing and communications manager Dana J. Long described their process as “unwieldy.” They used a mix of online form and hard copies of submissions, which made it difficult to tie physical entry fee checks sent through the mail with digital form information. On top of that, judges had to fly in to spend eight to ten hour days in marathon sessions to identify winners.
Now, NCSEA collaboratively hosts the entire awards process in Submittable, where entry fees, submission materials, deadline reminders, and reviews all happen in one place. The result is a much more efficient process and a better applicant experience, which ultimately encourages more submissions.
