Selection

Dear friends,

We have a problem: our seminar was planned for 12 people but due to the big interest more people have signed up and we have to make a selection.
We do this because we think the optimal way to work productively is to have the initially planned number of participants. It is also the best way for each participant to get the most out of the workshop.

Please briefly write as a reply to this email why you want to participate. Also please think forward and make sure you can be present at all the sessions of the workshop (from 10 am to 6 pm every sunday from November 7 to December 11).
You have to send us a reply until friday 4 pm and on friday evening we will announce the final list of participants. 

Thank you,
Your Chisinow Photo Workshop Team
