We’ve worked diligently to keep these fees as low as possible, making sure the Female Voice Awards remain accessible while effectively sustaining the program. These fees will be reinvested directly into the program, covering costs associated with rigorous review processes, extensive promotion, essential technology upgrades and other assets vital to ensuring the program’s widespread visibility and impact. Furthermore, the application fee helps maintain the integrity of the program by preventing fraudulent, spam, and duplicate submissions.
