[Leica] Leica European Publishers Award - Help

[h_arche at yahoo.com (H. Ball Arche)]

Many thanks, Michial.

Something to consider - included in the package to the
UK publisher must be a 50 euro or 35 pound entry fee.
How can this be handled?

I could pay $US into your paypal account (if you have
one) or send a money order, if the US postal service
cuts them to Holland (you are in The Netherlands
aren't you?). They don't write money orders to the UK
for some reason; they don't have an agreement. Is it
possible in Holland to buy money orders that transfer
to the UK?
 
Daniel Ridings has also offered, and I've written him
with the same questions. I don't want to put anyone to
any more trouble than is necessary. There's no huge
hurry; they won't even be accepting entries until
March. And in the case of the book projects, the
'professional' qualification doesn't apply.

Thanks again, Harvey
