Well.... an *entry* could be made because that could even be e-mailed,
and
that's where possibly a photo in addition could be useful to give the
organisers an idea of what the entry is to be, to be able to start
planning the display;
I agree entirely. A *registration* of an entry - via a form and a photo
should be sufficient, in the early stages of planning for the
exhibition. But it still requires that the piece is *finished* before
you submit the mock-entry... :)
It's trusting my lace to international mail, and the time I will have
to
allow for the same, that is my problem.
Trusting to the international mails, I cannot help; I've been doing it
for 32 yrs, and the only bits that ever went astray were *cash* sent to
Poland (which I wasn't supposed to send in the first place), in the
bleakest days of the transition from the red to the black regime, when
the entire country was hungry and looting... Of course, "once bitten,
twice shy"... :)
My renewal reminder from Laurie got here in 4 days, but that is
exceptional.
<VBG> It isn't, you know, or only by a day <g> While I'm surprised she
sent yours s-mail (I got mine via e-), I have been - over the past 10
yrs of Arachne - *timing* the s-mail mailings... An air-mail letter
sent from Lexington, VA to UK takes 5-7 days. A letter sent first class
(and presumably by air) from Lexington, VA to California takes 4-6.
Peculiarly, it also takes 4-6 days to reach *Boston* (Massachussetts),
even though both are on the East Coast...
And, anyway, I think that problem could be taken care of by specifying
that the *postmark*, not the arrival time is what'll be considered when
disqualifying late entries.
Besides which... :) If your entry - coming from UK - is disqualified
because it arrives a week late, I'll not only *buy* a red hat, I'll eat
it too, ribbon an' all, at the Convention banquet :)
