Case Study: IAAPA achieves streamlined awards management and scalable video submission handling with OpenWater

IAAPA - Customer Case Study

The International Association of Amusement Parks and Attractions (IAAPA) runs a large awards program that receives between 500 and 600 submissions and involves about 250 judges each year, managed by a seven-person internal team. Their biggest challenge was handling hundreds of hours of HD video uploads and consolidating fragmented administrative processes. IAAPA selected OpenWater and its Application and Review Platform to address those issues.

OpenWater implemented its Application and Review Platform to centralize submissions, manage video uploads, streamline category workflows, and improve judge communications. As a result, IAAPA now processes 500–600 entries and coordinates roughly 250 judges annually with the same seven-person team, significantly reducing administrative burden and improving efficiency through OpenWater’s platform.
