Why is there a processing fee?

For BOLD Awards to remain fully independent and to deliver the rigorous process that makes it unique, there has to be a processing fee. The nominal fee contributes to the costs associated with the administration and review of all the entries and organizing the event. It also lets us know that entrants are committed to submitting quality entries and are serious about the entry process.

How much is the processing fee?

All entries are subject to a €187 processing fee. Discounts are available for early entries as shown below:
