Calculate Nomination Fees: Step 4

Home > Dates and Fees > Fees > Calculate > Step 4
This page helps prospective participants to calculate nomination fees for the Academic Account Type with an indicative Preliminary Score of Participant (0) in the First Application Period .

Entry Type
The entry type effects the nomination fees and it could also affect the contents of the A’ Design Prize that is given for the laureates. Some entry types are highly unique such as the Platinum Edition, while others entry types could include additional services such as Express Evaluation & Judging (included in Black, U.Card, D.Card entry types) or Professional Preliminary Evaluation and Checking which is provided via U.Card entry. We made a page that explains the entry types, however to provide a brief summary here, most significant entry types are “Professional Edition” and “Digital Edition”. Professional Edition is for all professionals and enterprises. Digital Edition is tailored towards young entrants and start-ups. Learn more about Entry Types.

Please choose relevant entry method from the possible choices below. Choose "Professional Entry" if you are not sure about which entry method you should use. Scroll to the bottom of this page to learn more.

Participant
About the Preliminary Score (0): A preliminary score of (0) corresponds to an expected Participant award status: If nominated, your design is very unlikely to win a A' Design Award, very less likely to become a Runner-Up and highly likely to receive Participant status. Please learn more about what the Preliminary Score means. To remind you this score is not guaranteed or promised and actual jury voting could be significantly different.

The academic institution must be legally registered or accredited by government. You will be asked to provide a license and approval by your institution. Universities as well as specialized or technical schools are eligible as long as it is a high institution teaching individuals. Choose this option if you represent an academic organization or if you are a staff of an academic institution and taking part in the accolade on behalf of your institution.

Restrictions : Can use academic institution name for yearbook, certificates, exhibition posters, design rankings, screen presentations or profile details. Cannot use brand name for gala-badges. Must use institutional electronic mail address for registration. Cannot use multiple names: can provide up to (1) entity name for yearbook, certificates, exhibition posters, gala-badges or screen presentations, the entity names could be that of the academic institution. Only one (1) entity name is allowed for designer rankings and profile details. Institution registration number, value added tax number or corporate identification number must be provided for invoices. Maximum Team Size - number of designers that could be listed as team members at team members section of design details is zero (0) i.e. cannot list any number of entities for the team members section of designs, including the account owner; team members section must be left blank; if you have team members you need to choose Academic Collaboration account type.

Clarifications: Academic Account type is not suitable for undergraduate students of academic institutions; undergraduates should use Young account type, on the other hand graduate students are eligible for Academic Account type. Group of academics should use Academic Collaboration Account type, especially when the number of team members for the projects are higher than or equal to one (1) person. Do not choose this account type if you intend to take part in the competition with your personal or commercial projects; this very special account type is reserved for academics to nominate their institutional and academic works and not intended for scholars who wish to submit other works such as designs they have created for third-parties and/or for themselves. If you are an academic but wish to nominate your own non-acdemia related projects, you shall choose Professional account type. Do not choose this account type solely on the basis if you created a work for an academic institution; you must also be an academic working in the institution for which you created the work for; companies designing for academia should choose Enterprise, Agency or Startup account type instead of Academic account type, likewise professionals designing for academic institutions, as a professional, should choose Professional Account type instead. In the end of the year, we will verify if you are indeed an academic by checking your registered e-mail and your current status at your faculty or department to see if you are actively listed; please use Professional Account Type if you are not actively taking part in an academic institution such as a lecturer, professor or dean.

Good to Know: You could potentially join for free, using this account type. Especially Design Award Scholarship & Design Ambassador programs as well as Blog about A' Design Award & Blog about A' Design Award Winners programs can help you earn a free Digital or Professional nomination ticket.
