Today is the final day of the Fall Entry window. At 23:59 GMT tonight, the rate increases from $385 to $415 for Professional, $275 to $300 for Independent, and $145 to $160 for Concept, Student, and Design for Good.
What you can still do today
Start an entry now and finish it later. Entries are editable right up to the moment final entries close in February 2027.
If a project is nearly there but the photography is not ready, don’t worry. Enter it anyway and keep working. The fee is locked at the point of purchase, not at the point of perfection.
If you are on the fence about the category
You may submit entries to multiple categories; each is a separate entry with a separate fee. If you cannot decide whether a project belongs in its market group or in Brand Identity Systems, the answer is often both. All nineteen categories are here, plus the Concept and Student competition.
The next rate after this one
Our Pre-Holiday rate runs from October 1 to October 31 at $415, and increases to $545 at the final deadline in February.
Tonight is the last time any of these numbers will be this low.
Fall Entry closes tonight, September 30, at 23:59 GMT. Professional $385, Independent $275, Concept and Student $145. Enter the DIELINE Awards 2027.
