Frequently asked Questions:
- Can I cancel my submission?
- As long as you have not yet completed the submission, you can discard the drafts at any time. Unfortunately, once you have pressed the Submit button, it is no longer possible to withdraw your submission and fees cannot be refunded.
- Does it cost anything to register for the submission?
- No, registration in the submission tool is free of charge. The fee for the submission is only due when the submission is completed.
- Who can enter the competition?
-
Anyone involved in communication design using at least one beyond-Latin script in our eight script groups – from independent designers and studios to publishers, agencies, NGOs, and students. If your work speaks in multiple scripts, even better. We welcome both professionals and emerging talents.
- What happens if I have technical issues with the submission tool?
-
Our submission platform includes help prompts, but if you run into trouble, you can reach out to the GRANSHAN support team at [support@granshan.com] with screenshots or details. We recommend not waiting until the final deadline to avoid last-minute stress.
- Will my physical work be returned?
-
No – physical submissions will not be returned. Awarded works become part of the GRANSHAN exhibition programme and later join the permanent GRANSHAN Archive, where they remain accessible for research, reference, and future showcases.
- Why should I submit early?
-
Early Bird entries that later receive an award get a special thank-you and will be the first to be featured in our post-competition communications – giving them extra visibility to the global design community.
