Featured Workflows

Awards Workflow

Award programs launch, deadlines approach, and best-of lists refresh on their own calendars — none of which sync with yours. This workflow finds the awards, rankings, and recognition programs your company fits and alerts you while there's still time to submit properly.

What it matches

Award programs, rankings, and best-of lists matching your industry, size, and strengths — company, product, people, and workplace recognition alike.

When it looks

Monthly for steady coverage, with deadline warnings timed to give you real preparation runway.

Where results go

Email or Slack — to whoever owns submissions, or per client for agencies.

How Workflows work

Tell Featured what to monitor, when to look, and where to send results.

  1. 01

    Describe the company

    Industry, size, stage, and what's award-worthy — products, growth, people, culture. Fit determines everything downstream.

  2. 02

    Featured watches the programs

    New and recurring awards, rankings, and best-of lists surface with deadlines, criteria, and fees — timed so preparation is possible.

  3. 03

    Submit with runway

    Featured's chat drafts submissions against the judging criteria while the deadline is still weeks out — the difference between entering and competing.

Why run awards as a workflow

Companies don't lose awards on merit. They lose them on deadlines.

  • Runway

    Warnings, not surprises

    Alerts arrive with preparation time built in — a month out by default, escalating as dates approach — so submissions get evidence, not adrenaline.

  • Full map

    Programs you'd never find

    Beyond the two big shows everyone knows: niche programs, regional awards, and the refreshed best-of lists that quietly drive buyer perception.

  • Cycle

    Wins turn into coverage

    When results land, the same platform drafts the announcement, pitches the journalists, and adds the win to the sources AI reads about you.

The Awards feature maps your award landscape in one conversation — the workflow keeps the calendar current afterward.

Awards workflow — frequently asked questions

What does the Awards workflow do?+−

It continuously finds award programs, rankings, and best-of lists matching your company — industry, size, and strengths — and delivers them with deadlines, criteria, and entry fees to Slack or email. Deadline warnings arrive with enough runway to prepare a submission that can actually win.

What kinds of recognition does it cover?+−

Company and product awards, people programs (40-under-40, rising stars), workplace recognition (best places to work), startup competitions, and the best-of lists and rankings that buyers — and AI assistants — consult year-round. Each is labeled for what it is, including entry fees.

How do the deadline warnings work?+−

You set the runway — a month out is the default, and shortlisted programs can escalate at 30, 14, and 3 days. The point is preparation time: winning submissions are evidence-gathering projects, and evidence takes weeks to assemble well.

Can it draft submissions?+−

Yes — for any surfaced program, Featured's chat drafts the submission mapped to the judging criteria, tells you which evidence gaps to fill, and keeps your standard sections (company overview, achievements, metrics) reusable across programs.

How does it handle pay-to-play programs?+−

By labeling reality: entry fees are shown up front, and programs whose business model is selling trophies get flagged as such. Reputable programs charge to fund judging; the workflow helps you tell the difference before budget leaves the building.

Do I need a paid plan?+−

No — workflows are available on every plan, including Free. Runs pause when the daily usage cap is hit; a Free workspace's first run may pause on the 10¢ cap. Map your current award landscape free in chat first.

What happens when we win?+−

Work it: the workflow can watch for results, and on a win, Featured drafts the press release, the social posts, and the pitches to journalists who cover wins in your space — while Media Monitoring catches everyone who picks it up.
