Institutional Purchase Orders are acceptable. Submission of entries by FAX is acceptable. Payment may also be made by credit card. HeSCA accepts payment via MasterCard, Visa or American Express.

The information you supply on your entry form will be used for catalog preparation, awards and announcements. Double check your information and spelling. Complete every part of the entry form.

Note: HeSCA makes all awards (with the exception of the Holly Harrington-Lux Award) to institutions or corporate entities. The organization listed in your address will be credited with the production of your entry unless you specify a producing institution in the space provided!

The Statement of Objectives may be the most important part of the entry form. The information that you supply will be a significant factor (up to 33%) in the judges’ scoring. The Statement of Objectives should state why your production was created. It is not a description of the program. See the entry form (page 2) for LRC catalog information. Make your statement(s) direct and concise.
