Yes, you can submit a project to multiple categories, with each additional category submission requiring an extra fee. In fact, doing so will increase your chances of winning. We offer a discount on the additional category fees for submissions to multiple subcategories. Please note that the discount applies only to submissions of the same project content to multiple categories.
A: Yes, you can submit any number of entries. An individual or company may submit multiple entries. Each entry should be submitted as a separate entry, and a fee will be charged based on the number of entries submitted.
A: Projects must be created or executed within three years of the submission date. For example, if the submission date is July 1, 2025, the project must have been created or executed after July 2, 2022. Projects completed before July 1, 2022, do not qualify for the competition’s validity period.
A: Yes, you can submit projects that have been submitted to other competitions or exhibitions. However, if your work has previously won One Prizes in a relevant category, we do not recommend resubmitting it, as your work’s score will not be higher than the previous award score. Therefore, we encourage you to submit new works.

Judging Process
A: Once all entries are finalized, the members of our jury will begin evaluating the works. A score will be calculated for each entry based on the jury’s evaluations. The appropriate awards will then be given out based on the final scores. Winners will receive the corresponding award for their category. The International One Prizes of the Year are selected from the gold-winning entries of each year’s Press Release and Agency categories.
A: To incorporate perspectives from multiple fields and evaluate works using a more market-oriented standard, all entries are evaluated by a jury panel, not by individual raters. The jury is comprised of members from three organizations—International One Prizes LLC, the news agency MERXWIRE, and an international art or design organization—who vote anonymously.
A: The judging panel will evaluate entries based on their professionalism, creative concept, practicality, and market impact. The names of participating companies or individuals will not be disclosed during the voting process. All entries will be presented in a random order to ensure fairness in the voting. However, the above is just a general overview. Different categories have different specializations and standards, and you can read about the rating items on the relevant web pages.

After the winner list is announced, you can order your physical certificates or trophies from our online store.
