Submit also the entry form.
Pdfs of both publications are required, all pages. If possible, create the Pdfs as double pages. For the production of the Pdfs, this means “assembly area” or “print sheets”. Attach Pdfs on CD, DVD or USB stick. It is sufficient if the Pdfs are suitable for an illustration at a height of approx. 10 cm. The Pdfs are only used if the publication is awarded.
If you are participating with several projects, it is best to send everything together in one package.
