2023 Plaketa PAF Tachov

Dear competitors,

Due to the complication with winners prizes delivery during previous years, we would like to ask you to check your address in the application. Please use the address where it will be possible to reach you approximately one month after the end of the festival. All photographers please also check your address in registration under the Upload gallery link.

In case you request a different date for delivery of the plaque or prize, please inform us in advance. We'll not be able to send returned packages again - all returned parcels will be possible to pickup at the organizers of the festival until the next year of the festival PAF Tachov.

Thank you for understanding.
