Fee overview
The GRANSHAN Bloom Award is created by the community, for the community. Our aim is to make participation possible for designers and organisations of all sizes and from all economic contexts – while ensuring we can organise the competition, run the jury process, and honour the winners in a meaningful way.
We have lowered the entry fees – for everyone and in every category. There are three fee levels based on self-assessment, and they stay the same until submissions close on 22 December 2026: no phases, no price increases. Campaigns and Visual Identity & Branding cost twice the fee of the other categories.

For studios and agencies with modest team sizes and turnover.
- Most categories
- €45 per entry
- Campaigns, Visual Identity & Branding
- €90 per entry

You choose your tier
We trust you. The lowest tier is a clear signal to everyone for whom an international fee is a real hurdle. Those who can give more are warmly welcome to choose a higher tier – it helps us keep the lowest one low.
-
The only cost
The entry fee is the only required cost. No winner fees, no hidden fees – never at GRANSHAN.

Already submitted?
Thank you – you led the way. Your entry stays exactly as it is. Entries submitted before 27 October 2026 can be revised or completed free of charge until 22 December 2026. Because fees are now lower, you also receive one additional entry free of charge. We will write to you personally.
Fee terms & conditions
Fees apply per submission and per media category – if a project is entered in more than one category, each entry is assessed (and paid for) separately. The only exception is the one additional entry free of charge for entries submitted before 27 October 2026.
Your registration in the submission tool as well as the creation of drafts are free of charge. An entry is subject to the fee when you pay it, and paying is what submits the entry. Once paid, an entry is locked: it cannot be edited, cancelled or refunded. Entries submitted before 27 October 2026 can be revised or completed free of charge until 22 December 2026.
Fees include VAT. Payment can be made directly in the submission tool via Stripe. Available payment methods are shown at checkout and depend on your country, currency and device.
