Terms & Conditions of Entry

Updated 12 October 2026

The following are the terms and conditions of entry to the 2027 Asia-Pacific Stevie® Awards. By submitting entries to the competition you assent that you have read and agree to abide by these terms and conditions.

The veracity of claims made in winning entries may be audited. Any entry found to contain false or misleading information will be disqualified.

Entry Fees

Entry Fees differ per category and are listed on the awards website. Entry fees must be paid before entries will be submitted to judges for review.

You may withdraw one or more entries from the competition and receive a refund of entries fees paid for those entries through 21 January 2027. After that date entries may still be withdrawn, but no refunds will be issued. If for extraordinary circumstances after 21 January we must submit your entries for judging before entry fees are paid, your entries will be nonrevokable and entry fees will be payable.

Acceptance of Stevie Awards Correspondence

Every entrant has a designated point of contact: a single person with whom we communicate about the disposition of entries submitted. We will send regular email correspondence to your organization’s point of contact, especially after Stevie Award winners are announced in February. Your organization’s point of contact agrees to:

  • Whitelist the email address help@stevieawards.com, from which most of our email correspondence will come
  • Read all email correspondence from us promptly and respond as requested or required

Maintenance of Your Entry Account Information

Your organization’s entry-submission account on the Stevie Awards website, through which your entries are submitted, will contain the contact information for your point of contact, including that person’s name, postal mailing address, email address, and telephone number. Your organization’s point of contact agrees to maintain the information in this entry-submission account and update it if and when necessary.

Final Decision

In the event of a dispute as to the category in which an entry(s) will be judged, the decision of the Stevie Awards staff will prevail. Judges may recommend that an entry be switched to a different category, and at their discretion Stevie Awards staff may change an entry’s category.

Disposition of Submitted Materials

Any offline materials submitted as part of your entries will not be returned.

Payment of Shipping Fees

Gold, Silver, and Bronze Award winners who are not represented at the awards banquet in May 2027 to accept their award(s) will be offered the opportunity to opt-in to pay shipping fees to receive their physical awards. Taxes and duties are included in shipping fees. Stevie winners should not be asked to pay anything further. If they are, contact us at Help@stevieawards.com. Those who do not opt-in will still be winners in good standing but will not be shipped their awards.
Shipping fees will be as follows:

Shipments within the U.S.A.
• U.S. $45 per Gold Stevie Award trophy
• U.S. $20 per Silver or Bronze Medal

Shipments to Canada
Trophies will be shipped by FedEx International Economy, DHL Express, or UPS and fees include all customs fees and taxes
• U.S. $95 per Gold Stevie Award trophy
• U.S. $45 per Silver or Bronze Medal

Shipments to All Other Nations
Trophies will be shipped by FedEx International Economy, DHL Express, or UPS and fees include all customs fees and taxes
• U.S. $345 per Gold Stevie Award trophy
• U.S. $80 per Silver or Bronze Medal

Stevie winners will have the opportunity to choose to pay shipping fees starting in March. Awards will not be shipped until shipping fees have been paid. Note that we ship Stevie Award trophies internationally with duties and taxes prepaid. Stevie trophy winners should not be asked by their nations’ customs authorities to pay additional duties or taxes, and should contact us at help@stevieawards.com (opens in new tab) if this occurs.

Publication of Stevie-winning Entries

Traditionally we have published only the full-text of Gold Stevie Award-winning nominations, and only after we have worked through an iterative editing process with winners to ensure that any confidential information or attachments were redacted before publication. As of this date we are working to create a system whereby all Gold, Silver and Bronze Stevie Award winners may opt-in to publish their winning nomination(s), and have the ability to make those redactions themselves in our system before publication. We hope to have this system available when it’s time to publish 2027 Stevie winners, and will update entrants on the schedule for deployment as soon as we can.

Notice of Filming and Photography at the Asia-Pacific Stevie Awards Banquet

Please be aware that by attending this event, you agree to be filmed or photographed. Photographs and/or videos taken at the awards banquet may be used in the Stevie Awards website publications, news releases, and in other media communications related to the mission of the Stevie Awards.

Identity Verification

The Stevie® Awards has the right to verify the identity, employment and affiliation of any Stevie Awards entrant. After submitting your nomination(s), you may be asked to use an online verification tool.

Failure to comply with these Terms & Conditions will render your entries ineligible. Entry fees will not be refunded.
