Deadline for entries

Deadline for Entries is 7th March, 2024. Please contact us by e-mail or telephone. Judging is much earlier this year so extensions might only be for a few days. (A FINAL Entry Deadline Extension is available for The 25th FAB Awards to 26th March, 2024 if you contact us).

Cancellation rights

Entries submitted for The Awards cannot be withdrawn and Entry Fees become due and cannot be refunded once projects are prepared for Judging.
