Just wondering about eligibility requirements for this competition. Is this open internationally?
Thanks!
Unless the guidelines specify otherwise, I would assume that the competition is open to those outside the U.S. You will still probably have to pay the entry fees in U.S. dollars, though. You can also email the sponsors with your questions. Hope that helps.
Thanks, Jeanne.
