Managed Awards Entry Service FAQs

Do you guarantee a win?
No. We optimize narrative, visuals, compliance, and presentation, outcomes are determined by the Grand Jury Panel. Indeed, the A' Design Award entry is completely meritocratic and academic, entries are voted on blind peer-review process.

Can you create assets from scratch?
Yes at Premium and Ultra Premium; we direct production and manage specialists. Fees are pass-through at cost at Premium and Ultra Premium Service Levels.

Who owns the materials you create?
Depends on who creates the content. In International Intellectual Property Law, unless you hire the designers, photographers, creators, the copyright remains with them, even if you pay them to produce the work. Therefore we recommend your business to hire the creators as employees during the process. In this case, you would own the assets as they are corporate assets. Otherwise even if you pay us, the assets are copyrighted by the creators, whom would be licensing you (generally royalty-free) to use the images and content, solely for the scope of awards entry, but if you hire the creators, you can use the assets also for other advertising and promotion.

Will you pay the competition’s entry fees for us?
Depends on package. For Basic, and Standard, we will guide you through the payment step. For Advanced, Premium and Ultra Premium, we will pay for the Professional Entry package. There will not be "winner fees". Winner's Kit shipment is included in prize, if you cannot attend the gala. Premium and Ultra Premium package also comes with additional Gala Night Ticket(s) depending on package.

Can you submit to multiple categories?
Yes, please see tier limits above. We advise where your project is most competitive. However for each submission, an additional nomination fee would apply. If you need material creation, extra costs would apply.

Do you work internationally?
Yes. We support remote workflows across time zones and provide translations per tier. We will provide valid European Invoice for tax deduction.
