*Here's what you can use instead.*

For a long time, the eAwards campaign served a very specific purpose: helping teams run internal nomination-based award campaigns. This very specific workflow doesn't reflect how most of our partners build campaigns today, and as a result eAwards has been sunset. 

### Why eAwards is being retired 

eAwards was designed around a very specific structure:

- Someone submitted a nomination
- Selected a nominee from a preset list
- and the nominee's manager was notified by email.

That workflow was useful for certain internal employee recognition programs, but it was not broadly applicable as a public-facing campaign type, and a bit too specialized to continue supporting long-term.

### What you can use instead

While there's not a single one-to-one replacement for eAwards, there are a few combinations of campaigns you can set up, depending on the type of experience you want to create.

Here are some common alternatives:

| **For text-based nominations** | Use an **Entry Form **with custom fields.  |
| --- | --- |
| **For photo or video submission** | Use an **Upload campaign. **This works well when nominations or entries need to include:  - Photos, videos or supporting files |
| **For short-answer or structured responses** | Use a **Survey campaign. **This is useful when you want to guide respondents through: - a series of nomination questions - rating or selection fields - a more structured flow |
| **For choosing finalists or winners** | Use **Lineup. **This campaign can be used to determine finalist selection based on the award |

### A common replacement workflow

For many eAward use-cases, the closest replacement will be:

Entry Form + Lineup campaign

For example:

- use an Entry Form to collect nominations,
- review and shortlist finalists internally,
- then use **Lineup **to let audiences help choose the winners
