Question 1: 

There is no application fee for the Awards. Are there, however, any extra charges? For example, entry fees, award fees, and or sponsorships following a win?

請問報名此獎項除無須報名費外，是否還有其他任何的衍生費用呢？(如：參賽費、得獎費用、得獎後的贊助費等等。)

[Answer]

We are pleased to inform you that there are no entry or winning fees associated with the Better Business Awards. If your company is selected as a finalist, we kindly ask that at least two representatives attend the Awards Ceremony dinner. Tickets must be purchased for these representatives as well as any additional attendees at the standard price. Attendance at the dinner is mandatory, providing a prime opportunity to celebrate your achievements and network with industry leaders.

Please note that there are no hidden charges, ensuring a transparent and rewarding experience for all participants.
