Key Features That Make It “Good”

Suggested Tech Stack (Simple & Cost-Effective)

  • Backend: Laravel

  • Authentication: OTP + email, optional SSO
  • Notifications: Email + WhatsApp / SMS via provider

If you tell me who will use it (corporate awards, school awards, employee awards, government, etc.) and how judging works (single round vs multiple rounds), I’ll draft a complete SRS, modules list, database entities, workflow diagram, and MVP timeline tailored to your case.
