NYX Game Awards makes every effort to keep entry cost low. Thus, our entry fee is $250 for Game categories, $200 for Game Creativity (Campaign) categories, and $129 for Game Creativity (Single) categories.
Rather than increasing the fee for each entry, fees are only charged in order to cover administrative costs like printing, mailing, and data organization. For this reason, each participant is charged a flat $30 annual administrative fee. When all participants pay the same low fee, those submitting more than one entry will actually pay less than if fees were on a sliding scale.
