Entry fees for the Faces of Design Awards are:

• Regular participants: €40 (early bird discount) / €90 (standard)

• Students: €20 (early bird discount) / €50 (standard)

Please note that student entries will be clearly marked as such for presentation to the Panel, and in all subsequent communications, including the printed volume of Award winners!

We have done our best to keep entry fees to the competition as low as possible, however, a limited number of special Faces of Design Award Grants is available to talented designers  otherwise unable to afford participation.

These Grants are awarded purely based on applicants' merit and need.

To apply for a special grant, you have to take the following steps:

1) Register for your (free) account on Faces of Design;

2) Create a compelling profile for yourself, and show us the quality of your work in your portfolio;

3) Send us an email at awards@facesofdesign.com with detailed arguments for why you should be eligible for an Award Grant. We will then carefully assess your case.

There is only a limited number of grants available, and they are targeted solely at individuals otherwise unable to afford participation. Organising this design competition takes a lot of time and effort, and we will not be able to provide the Grants if we are swamped with fake grant applications - so please do not abuse this option!

We also reserve the right to ban anyone from taking part in the competition if find them cheating on the Grants application.
