Entry Information

The NY Digital Awards focuses on ease and accessibility for worldwide participants, with an efficient entry system that features straightforward online registration and submission methods.

Deadlines & Fees

The NY Digital Awards prides itself on maintaining affordable entry fees for all participants.

The overall fee structure is designed with simplicity and fairness in mind. Instead of escalating costs per entry, we charge a $30 annual administrative fee for only the first entry of each competition year. This approach covers expenses such as printing, mailing and data organization. By implementing a consistent fee, entrants submitting multiple entries will benefit from a cost-effective structure, making it more economical than a variable fee system.
