Submission Fees

The submission fees for the Infinite Generations Positive Impact Book Awards are thoughtfully allocated to maintain the program's quality, celebrate authors, and support its mission. These funds cover the administrative costs for organizing and reviewing submissions and the production of awards such as custom stickers and certificates. They also contribute to marketing and promotional efforts to showcase winning works and, when applicable, the organization of virtual or in-person award ceremonies. Additionally, a portion of the fees supports the program's sustainability, including platform maintenance and future growth, such as expanding categories or introducing scholarships. Aligned with our commitment to giving back, part of the proceeds may also support literacy programs, environmental initiatives, or disability advocacy, ensuring that every submission makes a positive impact.
