TARA highly recommends using courier or other NON-proportional font for readability. No dot matrix. Manuscript title in upper left-hand corner. Page number in upper right-hand corner. Unjustified text, aligned left.
Bind copy with a large paper or binder clip.
Do not bend or staple. Author's name must not appear anywhere on the manuscript. Deductions from final scoring will be made for manuscripts not in the standard format as defined above. If you live outside the United States, check with your local postal service to determine sufficient return postage from the U.S. to your address. If sufficient postage is not received, entries will not be returned and manuscript pages may be destroyed.
