FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why should I pay €120 if I might not get featured?
You don't. Submission is free. You only pay if we select you AND you want the feature.
What if I can't afford €120 upfront?
Pay €12/month for 12 months. Same total investment, more flexible.
Is this pay-to-play?
No. Pay-to-play means: you pay, you're automatically in.We reject 95% of submissions. You're paying for professional editorial production IF we select you, not for guaranteed visibility.
