# I wish to cancel my submission, will I receive a refund for my entry?

**Entry fees for Skift IDEA Awards are non-refundable.**

Once payment is completed, no refunds will be issued, including in cases where an entrant does not complete or submit a nomination.

However, if an entrant pays the entry fee and does not ultimately submit a nomination, the amount paid may be applied as a **credit toward the purchase of a ticket to any Skift-produced event taking place during the 2026 calendar year**, subject to availability and standard ticketing terms.

This credit:

- Has **no cash value** and may not be redeemed for cash or refunded
- Is **non-transferable**
- Must be used in a **single transaction**
- **Expires on December 31, 2026**, after which it will be forfeited

Credits may only be applied to event ticket purchases and may not be used toward sponsorships, advertising, submissions, or other Skift products or services unless expressly approved in writing by Skift.
