Programme Details and Points to Note:
-
Each form is for application for one workshop only. Applicants who wish to apply for more than one workshop should use a separate form for each application.
-

-
Applicants are advised to retain copies of their works. Regardless of the application result, submitted scripts will not be returned.
-
Shortlisted applicants will be notified by the organisers one week before each workshop is held. Unsuccessful applicants will not be notified separately.
