We would like to expand our awards programme in the future and if you would like to propose an awards programme for your geography – please email Berenice.lamblin@int-comp.org

You can check and change your file type by going to file > save > underneath the file name there is a drop down menu, click this to ensure you are saving the file as one of the above options.
