Case Study: National Council of Structural Engineers Associations (NCSEA) launches opportunities 83% faster and halves review time with Submittable

Reaching Ultimate Efficiency, for Engineering Awards and Much More

The National Council of Structural Engineers Associations (NCSEA) represents 44 member organizations and over 10,000 structural engineers and runs an annual Excellence in Structural Engineering Awards program. Before adopting Submittable, NCSEA struggled with a mix of paper and online forms, difficult fee tracking, and in-person judging logistics that made managing entries slow and error-prone.

NCSEA implemented Submittable’s centralized submission platform with integrated payments, a drag-and-drop form builder, email templates, and online judging, then expanded it to scholarships, grants, abstracts, surveys, and more. Using Submittable, NCSEA launches opportunities 83% faster and cut judging time in half, simplified fee collection and deadlines, reduced administrative overtime, and increased submissions for events like their annual summit.
