Early-bird entry fees are as follows:

• U.S. $295 per entry in the categories that recognize individuals (Lifetime Achievement and Executive of the Year), with the exception of Employee of the Year, which is free.
  

• U.S. $520 per entry in the categories that recognize entire organizations, teams, achievements, products and services, with the exception of Educational or Research Institution of the Year, which is free.

Entry fees will rise $45/entry after the April 16 early-bird deadline. Entries may still be submitted after the final deadline of May 14, up through June 11, but a late fee of $55/entry will be assessed in addition to the entry fee. This will also apply to the categories that were previously free.

If appropriate, an entry may be entered in multiple categories; and the fees are due for each category entered. Each entry will be judged separately in each category entered. Entries submitted in multiple categories are eligible to win multiple awards.

Payment may be made by credit card, check, or wire transfer. We accept American Express, Mastercard, and Visa. Payment by check must be made in U.S. dollars by check or draft drawn on a U.S. bank payable to Stevie Awards, Inc. Non-U.S. bank checks will be returned. Please note the name of the entering organization on your check or draft.

No refunds will be made after May 14, 2026.
