— Every submission includes

You pay once. The score is real.

No pay-to-play. Whether you spend $49 or $98, the rubric and the jury are the same — the fee only buys you a place in the queue and, on rushed, a faster one.

If you don’t win

You still get the full scorecard and written jury notes — the same feedback our winners use to iterate. No award page, but nothing wasted.

Seven-criteria scorecard

Concept, craft, UX, performance, accessibility, and fit — each scored and totaled out of 100.

Written jury notes

Real feedback from the designers who reviewed you, not an auto-generated summary.

We measure Lighthouse and Core Web Vitals on your production site, on the day.

Enquire
— Before you pay

Fair questions.

Do I pay before or after I submit?

After. You build your entire entry, review the rubric, and only pay at the final step. Drafts save as you type, so you can leave and come back.

What if I don’t win?

You still receive the complete scorecard and written jury notes — the same feedback our winners use to iterate. You just don’t get the award page or badge.

Is a paid submission more likely to win?

No. The rubric and the jury are identical for every entry. The fee buys your place in the queue and, on rushed, a faster turnaround — never a better score.

What’s the difference between $49 and $98?

Speed only. Rushed submissions jump the queue and get a guaranteed 48-hour verdict instead of the standard cycle. Same rubric, same judges.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If for any reason we can’t judge your submission, you get a full refund. Once a review is delivered the fee is non-refundable.

How do agency plans work?

They’re annual programs for studios that want ongoing visibility — verified profiles, ranking placement, included submissions, and buyer leads. Reach out and we’ll match you to a tier.

— Submissions are open year-round
