How to Submit

All entries to the GRANSHAN Bloom Award are submitted through our dedicated submission tool, developed in collaboration with a specialist for competition platforms. This system allows you to upload your work in the required digital formats and guides you step-by-step through the process. You can revise and update your entry at any point until you make the final »Submit« – so feel free to start early and refine as you go.

For physical or printed works, high-quality digital documentation is essential – photographs, scans, or video recordings that present the work clearly. For example, a magazine can be uploaded both as a browsable PDF and as a short video flipping through the pages, alongside individual high-resolution page images to show typographic detail.

The submission tool is designed to collect not only your project files but also the information needed for jury evaluation and, in the case of an award, for immediate use in our online exhibition, printed catalogue, and physical displays. You will be asked to provide:

• Entrant and contact details
• Photos, PDFs, Videos
• A concise project description
• Credits for all contributors, with short biography

All materials should be prepared so that, if your work is awarded, they can be used without further editing for digital projection, large-format printing, or online presentation. The same platform will also be used by the jury to review and evaluate your work in the first round of judging. Please note: an entry will only be forwarded to the jury once the participation fee has been paid.

To ensure a fair evaluation, all projects are presented to the jury anonymously. Descriptive texts provided in the entry form will accompany the work, but must not include any information that reveals the entrant’s identity. Whenever possible, submissions should include animated or motion-based material (video, GIF, or equivalent) so that the jury can experience the work in its intended dynamic form.
