Southern Province Creative Awards

The problem

The Awards needed a public website to receive nominations, run public voting, and showcase finalists — with traffic spiking 20× on the night of the ceremony.

Our solution

A statically-rendered TanStack site with edge functions for voting, fraud detection on submissions, and a finalists gallery that updates live during the show.
