Members should retain a copy of their entry list. If you enclose your prints in clear protective envelopes, writing your name on the envelopes will help ensure that they are returned with the prints to you.

HOW TO SUBMIT

PRINTS - to Al Goroszko - on or before the MPPA meeting on Aug 21, 2007. Prints without an official yellow sticker verifying entry during the current competition year will not be accepted.

RETURN OF ENTRIES

Print makers are asked to pick up their prints from the Print Chair at the end of the banquet. The remainder will be returned to the makers at the next meeting in October. Slides will be sorted in four boxes, and returned only to the club representatives at the end of the banquet. Please double-check that you have only your entries in hand.
