When you have successfully registered, we will send an email copy of your registration to you, please check your spam or junk email folder if you don't see it in your email inbox.
If you cannot find an email, it may just mean that a filter between us and you has, for some reason, decided it's spam and just binned it. There is no need to email us to ask for confirmation.
You can always check your own registration: go to your account home page and if the Christmas Showcase is listed (with a green flash), you have registered. If you are unsure, please also check your emails for PayPal confirmation and also the account you used for payment - if no payment has been taken, then Step 1 registration has not been completed.
If the Christmas Showcase does not show green in your Account home page, but you believe you registered, check your account Basket, as it may be that you have only partially completed the transaction.
Please note that all work must be safe to show/hang, and suitable for audiences of all ages, including children.
