How much does it cost to enter the awards?
There is an entry fee to pay when you enter the Awards. Why? Because there are real costs associated with the care and secure storage of entries, and the processing of entries and payments. Distributing collated papers to the judges, convening the jury, providing a venue for the judging days, if necessary, offering refreshments and lunch to the judges, compiling the privately scored judges’ marks and communicating the short-list to the lucky finalists, also incur costs.
The entry fee is set at GBP £150.00 plus VAT at the current applicable rate (GBP £180.00 including VAT at 20%, if applicable) for each entry.
Payment for all entries should be made at the time of entry and receipt of all entries will be acknowledged automatically and electronically. If you wish to pay for your entries against an invoice, please check the relevant box on the Entry Form and an invoice will be raised for you to pay by BACS, FundsFlow, wire transfer, or PayPal, using a debit or credit card or your PayPal account. Please note that we allow a maximum of 14 days credit if you elect to pay against an invoice.
By way of advance notice, please note that we will always run an event to celebrate the success of Finalists after judging is complete. It may a physical event, where table places will be available at a rate per person, or an online event, where a fee per Finalist company will be made, but these charges will be additional to any entry fees. Being part of a physical event or online presentation is at the discretion of each Finalist company and the results declared are completely independent of participation
