Is this a pay to play entry?
*Free: GIVA awards do not charge a pay-to-play. All entries are FREE because GIVA prides itself in Diversity, Equity, Equality, Sustainability Governance & Inclusion. However there is an admin fee which covers category Research and Development required to provide a robust industry gold standard awards and best practices. The one-off fee also contributes towards the cost for the SaaS licence of the Award Entry Portal, KnowledgeHub and marketing costs.
While the awards entry are free of charge and are entirely based on your own merit; there is an admin handling fee of £47 per category / per email address (max 3 categories per person) which is applicable to ensure awards continuity and transparency.
What is the admin fee for? Events are expensive to run, we also have to pay for the vendors who provide professional services for the event to run smoothly both on and offline.
ECONOMIC JUSTICE:
Growth and prosperity shared not hoarded.
The Admin Fee is waived 100% (as a Gift Scholarship to non-profits and business in LEDC's particularly those who fall under the lower economic brackets).
This is designed to bridge the gap between the haves and have-nots. Ensuring that everyone gets a fair shot at contributing to and benefiting from the global economy the GIVA awards fosters.
If you received a nomination by invitation because you're a not-for profit, once the portal opens, you will receive a special redemption code via email which you can use at checkout to get the 100% discount.
