ASME provides significant financial support for the administration and presentation of the National Magazine Awards, entitling ASME members who are registered as chief editors to pay lower entry fees (information about ASME membership categories can be found at asme.media/membership). To receive this benefit, chief editors’ ASME membership must be current as of the date of entry. Journalists who join ASME as chief editors before the date of entry are entitled to pay lower fees to enter the 2023 awards.

Entry fees for ASME members are $375 in all categories except General Excellence. The entry fee for ASME members in General Excellence is $395. Entry fees for nonmembers are $100 higher in all categories.

Entry fees must be paid on or before January 5, 2023, or entries will be deemed ineligible.

ASME members who edit publications with print circulations under 100,000 or average monthly unique visitors of less than 1 million may be eligible for reduced entry fees. ASME will notify members eligible for such reductions before the first deadline for entry on November 10, 2022. ASME members whose dues are past due as of the date of entry will be charged nonmember entry fees. Entry fees will be refunded for entries withdrawn before January 5, 2023, but no entry fees will be refunded after that date.
