Please note that I have just become aware that FedEx no longer delivers to Fox which is the location of the competition.

Entries shipped via FedEx will end up sitting in a warehouse near the airport in Fairbanks.

Such entries will not be received and, therefore, will not be entered into the competition.

Please do NOT ship your entries via FedEx!
