FAQ Entry #268

This is a respond to a previously asked question about the A' Design Award and Competition. The full list of frequently asked questions can be accessed here.

#268: I like to participate with a project but I am confused about nomination prices. Could you give me the price of participation? If you win an award, how much it cost when you have won it?

If you win the a prime design awards, there are no further fees (you get the winner kit - the a design prize without paying any extra fees), that is why the entry fees are slightly higher compared to other design awards. The entry fees depend on the competition period, and are listed in the dates and fees section of the website.
