In order to qualify for the reduction to $225, all entries must be coordinated and sent in one package with payment. Example:Four entries at once: $550 + $425 + $425 + $225 = $1,625 FULL MEMBER INSTITUTES AND REGIONAL FEDERATIONS ONLY Full Member National Institutes or Regional Federations providing promotional and administrative services as speci-fied below will earn a 15% credit on complete entries that they collect and submit directly to WPO. To receive the 15% credit, institutes and federations must coordinate entries, collect all required materials, ensure payment is correct and submit all entries with full pay-ment together to WPO. WPO will then calculate credit due. Credit will not be given by WPO for entries received directly from producers, or for any entries received through the institute which are incomplete. WPO will apply credit earned to dues obligations for the year 2002 or, if already satisfied, the year 2003. Any remaining credit balance will then be paid directly to the member institute or federation. Please note: Credit may be earned by the national institute or regional federation, but not by both organizations for the same entry or entries. 4.
