Fees

How much does it cost to enter?

To enter the Care Home Awards you will need to pay an early entry fee for each entry of £150.00 if you enter before November 30. From December 1 onwards the fee per entry will be £200.00. 

Once you have uploaded your entries we will send you an invoice automatically for the total fees incurred. Please remember it is preferred that your entry is paid for at the time of entry. Credit is not available on entry fees, so please advise your accounts teams accordingly. Also, if you need to cover the entries you make with a purchase order, please provide it in the space on the entry form. Do not leave this until after you have entered. Please also provide your VAT number.

UK Value Added Tax (VAT) will be added to the entry fees, as applicable.

What do the entry fees cover?

Each fee is a contribution to the administration of the Awards covering the personnel costs involved in checking entries and their bona fides, collating all entries and bookmarking them in portfolios for the ease of the judges, convening the judging panels, supervising the judging process and events, calculating all marks to establish a benchmark for all categories, compiling the short-lists of finalists and publicising the short-list of finalists through the media partners and other channels.

The invoice you receive from us will allow you to pay for your entries using any internationally recognised credit or debit card, via the Stripe payment system. Alternatively, you can pay by invoice using Stripe, BACS or FundsFlow to make the payment, but please remember that entries must be paid for with 14 days of submission or invoice, whichever is later.

By way of advance notice, please note that we will always run an event to celebrate the success of Finalists after judging is complete. It may a physical event, where table places will be available at a rate per person, or an online event, where a fee per Finalist company will be charged, but these charges will be additional to any entry fees. Being part of a physical event or online presentation is at the discretion of each Finalist company and the results declared are completely independent of participation. Current EARLY BOOKING rates are £340.00 for an individual place or £3,050.00 for a table of 10 at the Awards dinner and ceremony. These early booking rates will apply until April 15, 20127. From April 16, onwards, the rates increase to £370.00 and £3,350, respectively.

VAT will be charged extra, as applicable
