Azbee Awards Payment & Refund Policy

Early-Bird, Member and Freelancer Discounts

The early-bird discount is available to all entrants. The early-bird deadline will not be extended, and refunds will not be issued to entrants who miss this deadline. Please complete and pay for your submissions ahead of the early-bird deadline to ensure you receive the discount.

ASBPE members must use the member login with their ASBPE.org username and password to receive the member discount. Likewise, ASBPE's Freelance Editorial and Freelance Design/Multimedia members are eligible for an additional freelance discount, but must use the member login to receive the discount. ASBPE will not process refunds for members who do not use the correct login. Please confirm that the pricing in your cart includes the member and/or freelancer discount before submitting payment.

Payment

The Azbee Awards online payment system accepts major credit cards (Visa, Discover, Mastercard or American Express). All entries must be paid for online at the time of submission. We do not accept checks or cash.

If you would like to redeem Azbee Bucks you've earned by judging previous competitions, please contact the Awards Committee at awards@asbpe.org for your discount code before submitting payment.

Entry Updates

Please confirm that all entries are complete and adhere to the category requirements before submitting payment. You can make changes to entries in your cart ahead of payment. Should you need to make a change to an entry after submission and before the final submission deadline, please email awards@asbpe.org for assistance.

During judging, entry updates will be considered on a case-by-case basis, and the Awards Committee may decline update requests. Once judging is completed and awards preparation is underway, edits cannot be made to the information presented on your awards.

Entry Review and Refunds

Entry fees are non-refundable. ASBPE reviews all entries for completion and eligibility. Awards Committee and judging decisions are final.

ASBPE’s Awards Committee reserves the right to reject any entries that are improperly submitted without providing a refund. Reasons for rejection include, but are not limited to, failure to follow instructions, failure to provide requested information and/or materials, and failure to meet our eligibility criteria and/or category requirements.

The Awards Committee reserves the right to move entries to more appropriate categories. If an entry is moved, the entrant will be informed within three business days. Moved entries are not eligible for a refund.

At its discretion, the Awards Committee may on a case-by-case basis offer an entrant the option to entirely replace an entry before the final submission deadline. No entry replacements will be considered after the deadline, and deadlines will not be extended.
