This page helps prospective participants to calculate nomination fees for the Startup Account Type.

The Preliminary Score
The Preliminary Checking Service is a complimentary (free) service by A’ Design Award & Competition. Using this service you could get a “preliminary score” which hints how well your entry would do in the competition. It is simple and fast to use this service. If you did not do so, right now create an account at A’ Design Award & Competition and upload your entry after login. Both creating an account and uploading your entry is free at this step. Wait a few days while the preliminary jury checks your design. Your entry could be accepted or rejected or presentation might need improvement. Most importantly, you will receive a score from 0 to 10 (the Preliminary Score), and suggestions on the right award category and hints to improve your presentation. Learn more about the Preliminary Score by reading the Preliminary Checking Service. If you are already registered, upload your design to get a preliminary score for your entry. After you have your preliminary score, choose it from the list below.

Please choose the preliminary score of your entry to continue calculating the nomination fee. If you do not yet have a preliminary score for your submission, choose "!" option at the bottom.
