Although the special extension is provided, all entries received after 31 May will incur a 5% late fee charge.
“This special extension has been allowed in order to promote the hosting of the World Cup in South Africa. All entries will be judged in August and the winners will be announced in Cape Town at the Festival Weekend from 1 to 3 October. The committee felt that this was far better than only seeing the World Cup work at the end of 2011,” commented Andrew Human, CEO of The Loerie Awards.
