Abstract: According to one embodiment, in an imprint method, a template in which a pattern is arranged in a central region and an outside region is contacted against a first imprint shot. Light is irradiated via a dimming member so that a partial region of a resist contacted by the outside region has hardness lower than target hardness, and thereafter, the template is separated. Furthermore, the template is contacted against a second imprint shot so that the first and second imprint shots are superposed in the partial region. Light is then irradiated so that the resist in the partial region reaches the target hardness, and thereafter, the template is separated.
