Most studios do not enter one project. They enter a year’s worth — the rebrand, the two launches, the limited edition that turned out better than anyone expected, and the sustainability piece the client almost killed.
Bulk entry pricing exists for exactly that. Five or more entries takes 10% off every entry in the purchase. Ten or more takes 20% off every entry.
Every tier qualifies — but a purchase covers one tier
It is not a Professional-only benefit. Professional, Independent, and Concept and Student all take the same percentages.
The detail to plan around is that a single purchase covers a single tier. If you need entries in more than one, they are invoiced separately, and each purchase counts on its own for the discount band. So eight Professional entries and four Concept entries are two invoices: the eight take 10%, and the four sit below the threshold.
At the Fall rate, ten Professional entries come to $3,850 at list. With 20% applied that is $3,080, or $308 each.
Bulk pricing and the deadline ladder stack. The window sets the per-entry rate; the bulk percentage comes off whatever that rate is.
You are locking a rate, not a deadline
Entries are bought at the current window’s rate and locked for the rest of the 2027 season. You receive a code, redeemable against any category through the final deadline on February 27, 2027.
So a studio that buys ten entries before September 30 holds the $385 rate for a project that does not exist yet in January — when the list price will be $495. That is the part worth acting on this month rather than next.
How to set it up
Price it out on the bulk entry page, or email andrew@dielinemedia.com and we will put an invoice together. It is invoiced directly, payable by transfer or card, and purchase orders are fine — send the PO number and it will appear on the invoice.
One thing to plan around: a single project entered into three categories counts as three entries, not one. That is often how a studio gets from four to ten without submitting any more work.
Fall Entry closes September 30 at 23:59 GMT. Professional $385, Independent $275, Concept and Student $145. Five or more entries take 10% off; ten or more take 20%. Enter the DIELINE Awards 2027.
