PART SIX: WORK SAMPLES
The explanation text under each category is important. Our jurors are off-site and so, if possible, we ask you to send us links to remote files (unless you're a writer) rather than attaching them to an email. If you are worried about copyright infringement, protect your images with a password on flickr or your chosen site, but make sure to share the password with us.
WORK SAMPLE REQUIREMENTS

-10 minutes of audio files
