Thanks kindly Don.. I just rushed off a slightly hapless sounding email to the secretariat. Turns out I need to send back 4 things, the work, a photocopy of the work, a photocopy of the entry form, as well as a reply form. All by "Fedex, DHL or International Courier" by 24th Dec.. Oh panic.
Oh btw, I forget to mention, and I really should have, that it went in under the 'Youth category' as opposed to the 'General category' because I'm under 25 as of October 2004. I suppose it prevents 'kids' from walking away with a US20,000 prize. Think it's an alternative US5,000 tops. Here's the comp if anyone wants to study the fine print: http://unep-photo.com/en/outline/index.html Cheers, Ryan ----- Original Message ----- From: "Don Sanderson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 15, 2004 12:52 AM Subject: RE: UNEP Intl Photo Comp Finals!
