[Tnx rsgbiota.org] ===================================================== THE HOLYLAND AWARD PROGRAM - The Price list for the "Holyland Award" Program items, was determined on December 1991 by the IARC Awards committee. The pricing policy was based on non-profit expense-covering costs, to keep the program running. In March 1995 we have changed only the price of the basic award from 20 to 25 $ as price of materials and craftsmanship, including packing and mailing, has increased dramatically in terms of US Dollars. Since then, the cost of every thing has increased. Due to the above mentioned reasons, we could not help but adjust the prices, keeping in mined our basic price policy. The following is the new Price list as of 1st. of May 2005: 1. Record book..................................10 Eu. 13 $ 2. Set of Holyland maps. (Inc. postage).........10 Eu. 12 $ 3. Basic Holyland Award.........................25 Eu. 30 $ 4. Wood plate for the Award.....................20 Eu. 25 $ 5. Stickers (Per sticker)........................1 Eu. 1 $ 6. Postage (Packing and Airmailing the Award)...10 Eu. 12 $ 7. Postage (Other mailing).......................2 Eu. 2 $ We expect your understanding of taking these necessary steps.
