Haha I don't think you can buy a full nom, but if memory serves they charge either 200 or 300 as an entry fee per category. I think they get ballpark 10k entries for roughly 100 categories, and make 5*category# noms.


They make $2 million from entries only?


Slate thinks so, as of 2008:

  Even after allowing for discounted entry fees, the back of
  the envelope says the Webbys could be taking in more than
  $2 million from its contestants.

There might be sponsorships, and I think they also sell additional merch, and maybe tickets to the awards event. It's probably not cheap to organize.
