We are now operating a two tier payment scheme. First the Early Bird Fee. This is the entry fee option we would like to encourage as the entries will come in sooner rather than later. This means entries should become more evenly distributed throughout the entire process.
After the 31st January and until 31st March the entry fee will become the Night Owl fee and will increase. This is because we'll be working night and day to get through all the books!

Why is there an entry charge?
We are completely self-funded and in order for the awards to function we must charge an entry fee. Other mainstream awards work by sponsorship and by charging publishers thousands of pounds once their author is shortlisted. They also pay thousands to book a table at an awards ceremony.
We know that indy authors and publishers cannot possibly afford these costs so we charge a much smaller fee for everyone.
