A free path to participate, when the offer is on
WallMag occasionally runs a first-entry-free promotion on Awards. If you can't afford the paid Magazine feature (₹999) right now — student, just starting out, on a budget — check whether the promotion is currently active.
How to know if it's currently free
Open the award page on https://wallmag.io/awards and check the submission step. If the first entry is currently free, the price will display as ₹0 for the first slot. If the promotion has ended, all entries will show their regular price.
The first-entry-free flag is set per-award by the WallMag team and may be turned on or off at any time without notice. Always confirm pricing on the live award page before quoting it to a creator.
When the promotion is on
- Your first entry to any active award is ₹0
- All entries (free or paid) are reviewed by our editorial team alongside each other — same editorial standard, no preferential treatment
- Top 100 finalists per award are announced on the finale date
- Top entries win cash + brand discounts + a Cover Story feature in WallMag Creator Magazine
When the promotion is off
- Standard award entry pricing applies (typically ₹499 for the first entry, depending on the award and any active discount)
- The Magazine path (₹999, guaranteed publication slot) is the alternative
When to choose Awards vs Magazine
| You want | Path |
|---|---|
| Guaranteed publication slot | Magazine (₹999) |
| To compete + maybe win cash + earn credibility | Awards (price varies; check live) |
| Both | Awards entry + Magazine separately |
So: yes, there are usually free or low-cost entry points to WallMag — but always check the current pricing on the award page, since promotions are time-limited.
