Prizes



General Info

Every competition will have categories winners, as well as a Grand Prize Award winner. Grand Prize award winners will be chosen by the Judging Panel and Internet voting.

Competition winners will be notified via email and winning images will be featured in our online winners galleries and possibly other digital/print promotional materials.

In addition, every competition may have its own prizes. Please see specific competition's call-for-entry in our Open Competitions listing for further details.

The prize winners are responsible for all federal, state, and local taxes on prizes.

There are no alternatives to the stated prizes. In the event that the selected winner(s) of any prize are/is ineligible or refuses the prize, the prize will be forfeited and IBA, at its sole discretion, may choose whether to award the prize to another entrant

Entry Fees

Fees are specified for single entries as well as multiple entries. All fees are in USD.

Total fees due will be calculated automatically when you upload images via the 'Submit' page in your 'Member Portfolio'.

Payment must be made online via Paypal or by using a credit card. To make payment, login to your 'Member Portfolio', and navigate to the 'Submit' page to upload and pay for new entries. Alternatively, navigate to the 'Unconfirmed Entries' page to pay for review all uploaded but unconfirmed entries (for all running competitions).

Uploaded entries are 'unconfirmed' unless payment of the necessary fees is received before the competition's closing deadline. Unconfirmed entries are not qualified for judging. For your convenience, unconfirmed entries can be accessed over multiple login sessions via the 'Submit' and 'Unconfirmed Entries' pages of your 'Member Portfolio' until you delete the entry or the competition closes. You can review all your confirmed entries by navigating to the 'Confirmed Entries' page of your 'Member Portfolio'. Once a competition's results are finalised and the online winners galleries is published, your confirmed entries can be reviewed in the 'History' page of your 'Member Portfolio'. You can also view your previous payment details by navigating to the 'Payments' page of your 'Member Portfolio'. Find out more in the Closing Deadline section of our "How to Enter".

Entry fees are non-refundable, but entries can be completely modified (i.e., upload new digital file, update the title or caption, select a new category) until the competition closes.

Every competition will have its own fees and sequential pricing.

Should IBA elect to cancel or terminate a competition prior to its closing deadline, IBA will refund all paid entry fees.
