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!

We have added one detail to the Rules and Regulations that we missed out earlier: Word count. Here’s the line added to para 18 of the rules and regulations: “Entries must be at least 4,000 words and at most 12,000 words in length. This word count excludes footnotes.” All versions of the R&R have been updated to reflect this change.

Thanks to James, Ken and Emmi for pointing this missing detail. Do contact us if you have any further queries or comments!
