By submitting an application, the entrant promises that all of the information comprised in the application is correct. The entrant also promises to comply with these rules and any other award requirements specified by the Society (whether on its website or otherwise) and the Society reserves its right to exclude any entry which in its opinion does not comply.

All applications must be made using the online form and all fields must be completed. No hard copy applications will be accepted. Proof of submission is not proof of receipt. Applications must be received by the closing time and date specified. No responsibility can be accepted for applications which are incomplete, delayed or not received for whatever reason. Regrettably, incomplete applications will not be submitted to the selection committee for review and will therefore be classed as an unsuccessful application. Refunds will not be given for incomplete applications. We are unable to provide individual feedback on membership applications. The membership application fee is non-refundable.
