Lekker Bezig Schiedam organizes the annual sports awards in Schiedam, where residents can vote for Sportsperson, Sports Team, and Sports Talent of the Year. Nominees must have achieved something significant, such as representing their country at an international level, to be eligible for an award.

Initially, voting was handled through Google Forms, which worked at first but quickly became insufficient as the initiative grew. A more advanced platform was needed where users could submit nominations, transition into a structured voting phase, and eventually a winners phase. It also needed proper vote validation to prevent fraud and duplicate submissions.

We chose Statamic as the foundation, allowing us to build a dedicated website with Statamic for the content management and Laravel for the voting system. This provided the flexibility needed to manage both the content and the more complex voting logic.
