Editor’s Note
We no longer run membership for reasons explained here. This page simply remains to give a historical context to the development of our Award.
Membership is a good option for submitting multiple entries. At £5.00 for three months, members can submit an unlimited number of entries for £4.00 each. Membership can also be used to spread the cost of a single first entry between two smaller payments.
Membership reduces the cost of multiple entries
Since membership costs £5 and allows an unlimited number of entries at £4.00 each, the more entries a member makes, the less the total cost per entry. The table shows the savings.
| Member cost per entry according to number of entries | ||
|---|---|---|
| Number of Entries | The Maths | Cost per Entry |
| One Entry | (5+4)/1 | £9.00 |
| Two Entries | (5+4+4)/2 | £6.50 each |
| Three Entries | (5+4+4+4)/3 | £5.67 each |
| Four Entries | (5+4+4+4+4)/4 | £5.25 each |
Membership splits the cost of a single entry
Since the £5 membership lasts for three months, a member can wait a period of time before making a first entry. In effect, the cost of a single £9 standard entry is split in two parts; a £5 membership payment followed by a £4 entry fee up to three months later.
