Thanks for submitting your entry for e-Author version 5.0.

Please confirm that the entry sent for the writing program is original and unpublished. We might not be able to consider your entry because it’s already been self-published through your blog. We will leave it to the decision of our Appraisal Committee.

Best Regards,

Program Coordinator
