This will help the public and the jury see how the logo comes to life.

How much does it cost to enter a logo?

We wanted to make sure as many people can enter the competition as possible, because sometimes best logo designs are made for small companies, so we lowered the price from the usual $30-50 paid at logo award competitions to just US$19. You need to pay this fee after uploading your logo submission. You can pay with PayPal or Credit Card processed by PayPal to ensure maximum security and ease of use.

What is the prize for participants and winners?

The main and most important prize is the prestige of participating and winning at Brands of the World, one of the largest and most recognized branding websites in the world. Your uploads will be seen by many employers and potential clients, which may result in job offers or freelance jobs.
