WHO CAN ATTEND ?
Any age or experience level is welcome at the workshop, and last year’s was a great mix of novice to expert. Anyone — formal or informal students, novices, etc— is welcome to attend.
However, we do have a few enrollment restrictions*, to ensure that those who would most benefit from the workshop are served.
+ Freelancers with 3 years experience or less are welcome to attend.
+ Newspaper staffers with 2 years experience or less or welcome to attend.
* These restrictions do NOT apply to local photographers (Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Iran, Iraq, Cyprus, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, the Balkans, the Caucuses, Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Bulgaria, Romania, Moldova, Azerbaijan and Israel )
ENROLLMENT
There are 100 slots available for students.*
They are on a first come first served basis.

Once all slots are filled, the workshop will be considered full.

NO COURSE WILL HAVE OVER 10 STUDENTS IN IT.
*At least 40% of slots are saved for local students.
ENROLLMENT FEE
A nonrefundable deposit of $100 (until January 15) must be paid to reserve a slot. Full tuition can also be used to reserve a slot. Payment can be made via Paypal to: foundryphotoworkshop [at] hotmail [dot] com or by visiting our registration page.

After January 15, 2010 all tuition must be paid in full to secure a student slot. PLEASE make sure that your name and contact information is included with your payment!
REFUNDS
We understand that plans change, life happens, and you may need to back out of the workshop.
Partial (50%) refunds are available from January 15 until March 1. After March 1, 2010 NO refund is possible- though you can apply this year’s tuition to next year’s workshop (2011). This is because costs have been accrued, arrangements have to be secured (airfare, hotel, technology, fixers, etc) and we have invested substantial amounts of money into the workshop that cant be refunded.
WORKSHOP CANCELLATION POLICY
If the workshop does not receive enough students to be economically & logistically viable, we reserve the right to cancel this years workshop. Upon cancellation, all tuition paid will be refunded (excepting the non-refundable deposit if paid between November and January 15, 2010), minus already accrued workshop costs (items like hotel deposits, airfare deposits, advertising, etc). We will basically take the remaining tuition and spit it evenly between all students and refund it via PayPal.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Scholarships from various individuals and sponsors will be available, including partial and full tuition awards. Check here for updates.
CLASS REGISTRATION
Courses are being developed and teachers are still signing on. Securing a slot does not guarantee a spot in a specific class. Most courses are open enrollmentl however, some will be portfolio based as a requirement for enrollment.
