Official from day one

Start from ECHO Official: the categories, the Strategy · Creativity · Results rubric, the entry form and rules, the honours. Add your own beside them — the official names stay official.

Your identity, not a template

Your name, logo, colours, faces and surface — light, dark or your own — your button shape, your tab icon, your picture on the door. Entrants never see ours.

Your money

Your Stripe account or your own bank details; member rates, early-bird and late fees, discount codes. The platform never touches your fees.

A judging engine that ends in a ceremony

Two rounds, per-category rubrics, conflicts handled, a results board with the judges' scores, a configurable award ladder, certificates, a public results page and the Word export for your site.

Seven languages, one form

Entrants write in their language; judges read the translation with the original a click away. Dates, prices and deadlines read in your timezone and currency.

Regional to international

A regional programme's winners travel to the international show as drafts under the same entrants — story, credits and materials intact.
