Entry Fees
Entry Fees for IBA Recognition
Clear entry-based fees for beauty professionals, brands, products, salons, centers, manufacturers, supply chain companies, and industry service organizations.
IBA charges per submitted entry. Each entry means one subject of recognition, one recognition field, one independent review, and one result determined by IBA.
€ Fee Per Entry
One Entry, One Subject
3-Year Mark Use Included Where Issued
Payment Does Not Determine Result
Quick Answer
- IBA uses an entry-based fee structure. Fees are charged per submitted entry, not per applicant account.
- One entry means one subject of recognition, such as a founder, brand, product, salon, manufacturer, supplier, or service organization.
- Applicants choose the recognition field. Applicants do not purchase Nominee, Gold Award, or Grand Gold Award status.
- Where recognition is issued, the entry fee includes 3-year use of the corresponding IBA Recognition Mark according to the issued level, year, field, and Brand Guide.
