FAQ Entry #452

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.

#452: I would like to ask if the nomination fee is assigned for several projects by participants or for one selected project?

Nomination fees are for a single project for most categories except for the 1) excellence in design category, 2) diligence and intelligence in design category and 3) young design award category; these three special categories consider the portfolio of designers, companies or young designers instead of a single work and thus multiple projects are submitted under a single entry, however in most cases, participation to other categories such as spatial design award, product design award, graphics and communication award among others, requires an entry to focus on a single project or work, therefore if you need to submit multiple projects, you make multiple entries, and each entry should be nominated separately by completing the nomination procedure.
