Electronic Submissions
This year, the ENnie Awards has decided to open electronic submissions for products which are released in electronic-only format. Products which are released primarily in print are not eligible for this submission type.
Please see a list of eligible e-product submission types below.
How to submit an electronic product via ENnies e-submission:
- Read through and follow steps 1-3 on the How to Enter page of the ENnies website.
- Send your completed submission form to entries “at” ennieawards “dot” com. Attach your e-product via one of
the following ways:
- If your total attachment weight is under 800MB, attach your product to the email directly.
- If your total attachment weight exceeds 800MB, or your product requires an .exe file to operate, include a hyperlink in your email which will link directly to the content to be downloaded. Make sure that product for download is immediately visible. Judges should not have to search for the submissions.
- Podcasts and Blogs: You must send a link to your site and specify one “must-hear” episode or one “must-read” article/issue. The judges will select another “must-hear” episode or one “must-read” article/issue that they all listen to/read. Each judge will then select another episode/article/issue.
- Send submission fee* via PayPal to
funds "at" ennieawards "dot" com. E-Submissions will not be forwarded to judges for
evaluation until submission payment is received.
Submission fees are as follows:
- 1 Product - $5.
- 2+ Products - $10. – Bundled products must be produced by the same publisher.
Products that may be submitted via e-submission are as follows:
- Podcasts – Multiple episodes of a podcast are considered to be one product for the purposes of the submission fee.
- Websites
- .pdf Books – Books available via electronic format
only.
- E-submissions are not valid substitutions for published printed books.
- Books available in print solely through Print-on-Demand publishing sites (such as lulu.com) are still considered to be e-books for the purposes of this award. Such products may be submitted through ENnies e-submissions.
- Software – For registered software available for download, 6 keys must be supplied.
Why does the ENnie Award charge a submissions fee for e-Submissions?
The ENnie Awards is a volunteer-operated not for profit entity. We rely on the ability to auction and sell product submissions in order to recuperate the cost of our operating expenses. With products submitted via e-submission, the ENnies will not be able to use the products to support the financial aspects of the awards. Thus, the staff has developed a modest submissions fee to off-set the expense. This fee should be comparable, if not less, than the expenses incurred by most e-publishers by burning products to CD and paying six forms of postage.
