If you have sent us an entry, do check your mail accounts to confirm we have received them, and for some, whether there are additional instructions or errors that you may need to ratify.

If you have not sent us an entry yet, do note that we at least need you to submit your entry and the official entry form (look for it under Downloads). We appreciate it if it is in Word or RTF format. We also appreciate it if you could attach these two forms seperately. This is to facilitate the judging process.

Good luck!

One more week left to the Deadline! Are your entries ready for submission? For those preparing to hand it to iws@singaporelawreview.org, this checklist could help you out with preparing that submission.

• Grab the IWS Entry Form and fill it up with your particulars. Are you writing as a team, send us a note to confirm your team’s participation: http://iws.singaporelawreview.org/contact-us/.
• Does you entry qualify? Take a quick look at the Question and note the word-limits. Take a fast look at the House Style (Rules and Regulation, s. 26) so we won’t look at your entry unfavourably.
• Have you got your essay seconded by someone in your faculty?  (Rules and Regulation, s. 8 ) It’s also in the Entry Form.
• Send one Electronic Copy of the Essay (in DOC or RTF format) and the entry form in one email to this address: iws@singaporelawreview.org.
• Sent it already? Make sure you receive a confirmation from us within 24 hours of your submission! If not, send us an email or contact us, and we’ll sort it out as soon as possible.
• We will contact short listed participants around the 20th of July.

Good luck on the last leg of the Writing Competition and we’ll hope we can welcome you for the Symposium on 25-26 August 2008!

*Note: there are some queries regarding a clash of the rules regarding whether autobiographical information (entrant’ name, school, id etc) should appear in the entry. We will appreciate if no information will appear in the entry. Thanks!

Due to a fire that broke out in a data center, we were down for a few days since last Saturday. This means if you tried to send us a query, submission or something like that, we did not receive it. Please try to send again now that we are online.

Please note that we do send a confirmation email once we receive your entry. If you do not receive it within a day or two after sending your entry, you might want to use the contact form or email queries@singaporelawreview.org for more assistance.
