If it is then I would have expected this to have been made clear in the leaflet, on the form, on the Discerning Eye website and on the Parker Harris website. <br /><br />All it states is that you need to indicate the region you live in to be eligible for one of the regional prizes.<br /><br />I'll alert the people at Parker Harris to the query - however my reading of the leaflet and other documentation is that there is nothing which indicates that overseas submissions are ineligible.<br /><br />However it's probably worth noting <i>(I'll amend the post!)</i> that work has to be submitted UNWRAPPED and that there is absolutely no support for the unpacking and repacking of any entries. <br /><br />What that means is that anybody submitting from overseas needs to have a friend located near one of the collection points who can take (and collect) the work. Also you'd need to work out how to pay the fees (eg reimburse friend?)<br /><br />In other words it's not impossible but it's not easy either. But then if I look at submitting to competitions in the USA I face very similar issues, In summary, this is the practical reality of international submissionsMaking A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-54321011152528854852009-06-24T02:47:48.609+00:002009-06-24T02:47:48.609+00:00Thanks, Katherine for letting us know about this! ...Thanks, Katherine for letting us know about this!

Although it seems that ...Hi Katherine and readers,<br /><br />Although it seems that this event is only for UK participants, I didn't read a notorious mention about this important aspect on their prospect.<br />Or have I missed it ?<br />I find stingy that one the world's biggest insurance companies doesn't offer this service to the participants; until a certain amount, for insteance.<br /><br />Best regards,<br /><br />JoséJosé Carrilho (Go Detail)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08965916774046623372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-41627243103000536742009-06-23T22:21:16.437+00:002009-06-23T22:21:16.437+00:00Thanks - very odd - it's the correct URL.
