After you have completed the entire uploading process you may hit the submit button and the rest of your contact details will be gathered. There is no longer a need for you to send in a separate disc or entry statement.
- No cloning, montaging or digital manipulation other than cropping, ‘digital spotting’, burning and dodging is permitted.
