I read through the rules, but I did not read anything that mentions who is responsible for paying the taxes on the prizes. Will the winners be responsible for any taxes or fees?

Thanks!

Some countries do impose taxes on incoming goods, I really don't know what each vendors procedure is on the forms when shipping prizes to you. The good news is that I imagine a lot of the software and content can be delivered electronically so there shouldn't be any taxes. If you win I will be giving your contact information to the sponsors and they will take care of distributing or make available the prizes. Sorry I can't give you a real answer as there are too many variables, but I can tell you that 3DA won't be charging you tax or fees!

Thanks. By the way, I'm new here and cant help but dislike the "Interior Desecrator" under my username. Yours is "Project Manager" and I take it you chose this title. How do I change mine?
