Out of
fairness to all entrants, we cannot waive entry fees for any reason.

accept the award and will still receive a certificate.
If I win, can I choose what the inscription will say?
Yes. Winners will be sent a form to fill out for the custom

Of course. Share some of the glory with those who helped make it

Awards and certificates can also be customized with different
