  • Enclose two typed, double-spaced copies of each entry.

  • An audio tape or cd recording of the entry must accompany musical entries in addition to the manuscript copies.

  • The top entries in each category will be invited to perform their work at the Eisteddfod to be held at WicCon on Saturday, 4 February 2006. Entries must be performed at this Eisteddfod to be eligible for final judging. (Authors/creators may elect to have someone else perform their work in their stead.)

  • Performance of entries will provide the final determining factors on winning entries. The decision of the judges is final.

  • Performers and any competition attendees (including attending entry authors/creators) must be members of the convention.

  • Performers and entrants are responsible for their own expenses incurred by entering and/or attending.
