Every submission is scored by the jury. You pay only if your work is recognized — and only to publish what you’ve already earned.
01/The process
About 15 minutes. Choose up to three categories. Free.
At least twelve jurors score the work on seven criteria — a decision within 10 business days.
Recognized as Featured, Official Selection or Editors’ Choice — or not, with the editors’ notes.

One annual plan covers every project your studio enters: no seasonal limit, no per-project fee when work is recognized, and decisions within 5 business days. Tell us a little about your studio and an editor will send the details and a payment link.
05/Questions
Because judging should never depend on who can afford to enter. We only ask for payment once the jury has recognized the work — so every fee pays for a result, never for a chance.
Recognized projects activate a permanent public profile — full score breakdown, every juror’s ballot, the verdict, case study and credits — plus the badge and nomination for the quarterly awards. It’s $89, once.
You pay nothing and receive the editors’ notes. You can submit the project again after 6 months, if it has changed meaningfully.
No. Judging is finished before anyone is asked to pay, and awards are decided from the same scores for every project. Premium changes how your work is presented — never how it is scored.
By an editor, by email, and on your private status page. The offer stays open for 30 days; payment is handled by our payment provider, never on this site.
It needs to be live or in public beta so the jury can use it. If it requires an account, tick the reviewer-access box and we’ll arrange a demo account — never send passwords through the form.
Yes, with their permission. Credit the client in the form; the profile names both the studio and the client.
