Last and Omega Entry Periods

Prelude
It is possible to submit and nominate new works to A’ Design Award and Competition after the late deadline of entries and deadline extension during Last Entry (March 7th to March 30th) and Omega Entry (April 1st to April 7th) periods by purchasing special entry tickets which costs more than regular nomination fees.

Joining during Last or Omega entry periods do not change your chances of victory and you would still get preliminary scores during these periods. Entry fees increase with each entry period. Last Entry Period fees are higher than Late Entry Period fees. Omega Entry Period fees are higher than Last Entry Period fees.

Information on Last and Omega Entry periods are available in this page for your considerations. Make sure to enter and nominate your design latest before the Omega Entry period.

Do I have time to make changes to my submission during Late and Last Entry Periods?
If you nominate your work to A' Design Awards during Late Entry Grace Period (from March 1st to March 7th), you can perfect your entry and make changes to your submissions until March 21st. If you nominate your work to A' Design Award during Last Entry Period, you can modify your work until March 30th. If you nominate your work to A' Design Awards during Omega Entry Period, the last day to make changes to your design is on April 7th. After these days, your work will be always locked (your work can be locked for changes earlier than these dates if your presentation is considered complete and correct by our preliminary jury). In any case, it is always better to nominate your work early to benefit from our free preliminary review which helps you improve the presentation of your work; to rephrase in other words; unlike other design awards where you cannot make changes to your entry after nomination, not only we allow you to make changes (with the dates noted above) we also proactively review the entries and inform you what you should change, which actions you could take to improve your presentation, and we help more for already nominated works as it makes sense; helping unnominated works is inefficient since not all works are nominated but costs the same energy, resources and effort, thus we help nominated works first and if we have time, we also of course push unnominated works to improve their presentation, therefore do not wait last minute to nominate; nominate earlier and get expert support earlier, you will increase your chances of success because we will assign a dedicated team member to help you uplift and improve your presentation, to make it compliant with our submission guidelines, and to help it shine better during the Grand Jury Evaluation.
