Nomination Ticket
A nomination ticket is a pre-purchased, prepaid ticket that can be used for nominating a design to A' Design Award. Nomination tickets allows you to nominate your designs for award consideration without incurring additional processing fees, since this is a pre-paid ticket that you purchase and pay in advance. We offer single-nomination tickets aimed at Designers, Architects, Artists and Small to Medium Sized Design Studios, Architecture Offices as well as Large Enterprised to nominate their designs for awards consideration. The nomination ticket is particularly useful for entrants aiming to meet a submission deadline when their final design is not yet ready. This strategic use ensures that participants can secure their entry spot in the competition while giving them additional time to perfect their submissions. After purchase, these tickets can be distributed to various stakeholders involved in the design and creative process. This includes fellow employees, team members, students, association members, and sectoral companies. The flexibility of the ticket distribution encourages support and collaboration within the creative community.Nomination tickets serve as a convenient mechanism for participants to manage submission costs effectively.

What is a Nomination Ticket?

  • A' Design Award's Nomination Tickets are pre-purchased, prepaid tickets that can be used for nominating an entry for A' Design Awards consideration. Nomination tickets are used to waive processing fees while making a nomination.

  • You can buy a nomination ticket now and use it any time from early to late entry period (latest by February 28th). Please note that for last and omega entry periods, there are special nomination tickets that are distinct from these.

  • The cost of the nomination ticket depends on the competition period (click here to learn current competition period) such as early, standard, late entry. Unlike the Discounted / Bulk Nomination Packages which have a fixed price among any of the competition periods (Early, Standard, Late), single nomination tickets have a varied price structure based on the current competition period.

  • Nomination tickets can be distributed to fellow employees, creative team members, designers, students, association members, sectoral companies and any other entities that you would like to support and sponsor for entring their works to the A' Design Awards, these tickets could further be used by yourself directly to help nominate a single project for awards consideration for the current edition of the accolade.

  • Nomination Tickets are especially useful, in cases where you want to catch the deadline for the current period, but the design is not yet ready. You can buy a nomination ticket now, lock the entry fee until late entry period, giving you ample time to perfect your presentation.
