>* Sign up will be limited to the first 15 PLUS 3 alternates.

>* Sign up by EMAILING me (use the link in the "from" field above)
>
>*Prints are digital BW on either letter (8x5 x 11) or A4 (European
>letter equivalent).
>
>* Will also accept prints from 3 or more alternates (if not needed,
>they will automatically be the first included in the next 3 spots
>available (one of the next two months).
>
>* Prints must arrive on West Coast U.S. by MARCH 18.
>
>* Prints can be shipped to me any way you like, but must include a
>prepaid return shipping box for either UPS or FEDEX ONLY for domestic
>shipments (international participants will be returned via USPS,
>generally costing about $12 USD to Europe). To save money, the return
>can now be via UPS or FedEx ground (but both services require that
>ground shipments strictly be in "your own packaging" not the 2-day
>air boxes).
>
>* Remember that prints will be BOTH Letter and A4. This is a shipping
>challenge. It is imperative that all prints be shipped in a container
>that will accommodate BOTH SIZES of paper since the return will
>include both sizes. The MEDIUM Fedex box fits the SMALL Fedex Box
>inside for very easy return and the SMALL BOX neatly holds both sizes
>of print. DO NOT SEAL THE SMALL BOX... If you like, add a little
>tissue or newspaper for protection. PLEASE FIX THE RETURN LABEL ON
>THE SMALL BOX SO I CAN TELL WHOM THE PRINTS GO TO. This would be the
>method STRONGLY PREFERRED for quick easy turnaround. Sending prints
>in the manufacturer's paper box WILL NOT WORK... A4 will not fit in
>letter, nor will letter fit in A4. Again, please attach your shipping
>label correctly to the box...this is occasionally critical as it gets
>confusing sorting.
>
>* Prints should all be enclosed in individual glassine/plastic
>holders with a description sheet facing the back (for sorting).
>PLEASE NOTE THE EXCHANGE MONTH THE PRINTS ARE ENTERED. The
>description should include at least: Print title, your name, shooting
>data, printing data. At a minimum this should include printer,
>inkset, software (including print driver/software). Any comments or
>stories on workflow would be very interesting and welcome. Don't
>forget to sign the print.
>
>* After I receive 15 sign ups and 3 alternates (who will send in
>prints), I will post a "closed" on the forum. The alternates are
>necessary to fill the exchange if we have a "drop out" or "late
>shipper" but I will not enlarge past the 15 level so those who chose
>to can print early and mail off the 14 prints. If any of the 15
>participants are late, their prints will be replaced by any I might
>have from Alternates so we can start shipping prints on the due date
>and accommodate all those people who always get them in on time.
