Entries may be submitted in more than one category; however, each category designated constitutes a separate entry requiring a separate tape, completed entry form and entry fee for each category in which an entry is to be judged. You may send a cover letter along with payment to cover the total number of entries.
13. Each entry must have a completed entry form and appropriate payment. Entries will not be accepted without receipt of payment. A payment receipt is automatically emailed to the address provide when payment is processed.
