  • Entries are to be submitted through the form in the entries section.
  • The deadline for submissions is March 27th, 2007, included. Entries submitted after midnight, GMT (night from 27 to 28) will not be accepted unless you bribe judges.

  • Acceptance of entries is up to the competition administrators, who may choose to disqualify any entry at their own discretion.
