AWC has 6 member Provinces (2006) They are each entitled to make 76 entries in the Competition for a full entry of 456. However not all Provinces make full entries.

      You can probably expect about 275 entries in all.

      At $6.00 an entry (2005) this is going to bring in around $ 1650.

AWC LOAN:

      AWC can make you a loan in advance. The idea is that you can use this money to make advance payments for rental of facilities. The loan is repayable along with 50% of the profits you made from a successful convention.

      In the unthinkable event of your incurring a loss, 50% of this loss, up to a maximum equal to the amount of the loan will be borne by AWC.

      If you don't want a loan, then you don't have to share profits, but neither will AWC bail you out.

AWC will pay for or refund you for:

      printing of results and/or competition report
      printing and shipping of certificates
      purchase, engraving, plating and shipping of gold keeper key

CONVENTION:

      In the past, successful Conventions have been held by several Host Provinces. In virtually all cases, these were financially successful and generated money for both the Host and AWC.
