- The work, which should be:
- typed or printed (not handwritten) double-space, on one side of the paper only.
- Paragraphs should be indented.
- Each page should carry a footer showing the title of the entry, your pseudonym, and a page number.
- Pages should be loose or paperclipped, not stapled.

New: Put the two parts into an envelope or a polybag to keep them together. Make sure that the name of the competition, the title, and your pseudonym are all clearly visible on the outside, either by writing the details on the envelope, or by showing your title page through the polybag.
