In this way you can prepare the main text of your proposal ahead of time using your word processing software, and then copy-and-paste it into the online form. Also you must prepare the Abstract and your Vita as separate MS Word documents and store them as files on your computer - the online Call form will have a place for you to attach and download them when you submit your form. ALL applicants must use the on-line form. NO proposals will be accepted by e-mail. If you have questions please write to submissions@asdreams.org |
