This page helps prospective participants to calculate nomination fees for the Startup Account Type with an indicative Preliminary Score of Runner-Up* or Participant (5) 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.
