Fees associated with submissions
The Design Awards 2023, a prestigious event recognising excellence in design, offers four categories: Design of the Year, Product Design of the Year, Firm of the Year, and Architectural Photography of the Year. Here's a breakdown of the entry fees, deadlines, and discounts for each category, based on information from related programs.
Design of the Year and Product Design of the Year
For these two categories, entry fees are expected to be around the $295 mark for the first entry, with subsequent entries costing approximately $195. Student fees are lower, typically at $40 per entry. Deadlines vary by program but are usually early in the year, such as February.
Product Design of the Year
In addition to the standard fees, professional regular fees are set at $300 per entry, while student fees remain at $80. Prototypes are allowed if the product is market-ready.
Architectural Photography of the Year
While specific details for this category were not found in the provided data, entry fees are likely to be around $100 or more per entry. Early bird discounts may apply in some programs.
Firm of the Year
Information on the Firm of the Year category is not available at this time. However, it is expected to follow a similar structure as design awards, with entry fees and deadlines aligned to the submitting organisation's projects or achievements annually.
Discounts and Notes
Discounts are available for smaller firms or firms with a special focus across all programs. Entries submitted into multiple categories receive an extra -30% discount on additional categories, but this discount applies only to the exact same project entered in different categories.
It is essential to note that the fees, deadlines, and discounts mentioned here are inferred from related programs and may not accurately represent the specifics for the Design Awards 2023.
