Budo Kampsportsgalan

Budo Martial Arts Gala - an annual gala for the Swedish Budo & Martial Arts Association

The Budo Kampsportsgalan is an annual gala organized by the Swedish Budo & Martial Arts Association since 2010. The purpose of the gala is to recognize and celebrate the previous year’s top achievements and efforts in Swedish budo and martial arts.

The Swedish Budo & Martial Arts Association contacted Pigment when they wanted to modernize and digitize the voting for the gala. This included the assignment of developing a new, responsive website for the gala that they could reuse for future galas.

An evening of glitz and glamour for Sweden's martial artists

The Budo Martial Arts Gala aims to celebrate the greatest achievements in Swedish budo and martial arts. During the gala, a number of awards are presented in different categories, such as Budo & Martial Artist of the Year, Breakthrough of the Year, Leader of the Year, Association of the Year, Technique of the Year, Champion of the Year and Heart of the Year. The award winners are often voted for by the public, with a final jury assessment in some categories.

In addition to the award ceremony, the gala offers an evening with a festive setting, where practitioners, leaders, association representatives and martial arts enthusiasts gather to network and celebrate the past year. The Budo Martial Arts Gala plays an important role in making Swedish martial arts visible and strengthening it, both within the sports world and in society at large.

A fast frontend with Payload

Together with the customer, we chose to build the website in a React/Node based Headless CMS called Payload. Payload is a modern CMS that has taken advantage of all the good things from older CMS and provides a fast and seamless frontend. You also have a flexible and expandable admin that the Swedish Budo & Martial Arts Association can reuse for their future galas. In the admin, the customer can now work with building pages based on ready-made, predefined blocks. Payload's admin, unlike many other headless solutions, also provides different types of preview, one of which is live where you can immediately see your changes.

Voting

The website's primary purpose, in addition to providing information about the gala, is to allow visitors to vote in the various categories that the gala has. A major focus on the website is therefore on voting - which is open for a short period, before the gala, each year.

To vote

The voting is done so that when the visitor chooses to cast a vote, it is first registered as having begun. But the vote is not counted until it is paid for and completed. Swish has been integrated into the functionality as a payment solution.

There are options to add restrictions to the voting on the number of votes per category, time period, etc. This is to control the voting as needed.

Webbdesign

The website design we have developed is in line with the graphic profile and spirit of the Swedish Budo & Martial Arts Association. The focus here is on highlighting the previous year's achievements and efforts within Swedish budo and martial arts, as well as having a clear and simple user journey through the voting process.

The website is optimized to work on different devices and offers easy navigation for visitors who want to vote.

Responsive design

The design is optimized for responsive screens with mobile first in mind. The website visitors mainly come from mobile mode to vote. Pigment always ensures that the visitor gets an optimal user experience regardless of whether the design is viewed on a computer, tablet or mobile phone.
