Problem

Award and recognition votes often run on ad-hoc forms with no verification, so results are easy to game and hard to trust.

Organizers need a guided path from session creation to nominee registration to shareable voting links.

Monetized voting (paid bulk votes) requires real payment handling, not a spreadsheet tally.

Solution

Built a guided organizer flow for creating sessions, registering nominees with photos, and publishing category ballots.

Added verified voting via email OTP to reduce duplicate and fraudulent votes.

Shipped a paid bulk-voting mode with Paystack checkout, per-session vote purchases, and analytics.

Made shareable links chat-friendly with proper Open Graph previews for WhatsApp and social.
