On Macintosh System 10.x or higher: Firefox 3, Apple Safari 3 or higher.

WHAT PLUG-INS ARE NEEDED TO VIEW THE ADC YOUNG GUNS ENTRY SITE?
The Flash Plug-In and Adobe Acrobat Reader are necessary to see elements of the site. Please download the Flash Plug-In and Adobe Acrobat Reader here.

WHY CAN'T I SEE THE ENTIRE SCREEN?
If you can't see the entire screen, it may be because your monitor's screen resolution needs to be changed to a higher setting - 800 x 600 or greater.

At a higher resolution, everything onscreen (text, images, navigation buttons) is smaller, so more can fit on your display. But if the resolution is set too low - at 640 x 480, for example - then the objects are larger and not everything can fit on the screen. When this happens you have to scroll up, down, or sideways to see the web page.

Increasing your screen resolution will fix this. In fact, most web sites won't display properly at a resolution of 640 x 480. So adjusting your resolution will actually make all your web experiences more enjoyable.

HOW DO I CHANGE MY MONITOR'S RESOLUTION?
For Windows:

* Go to the Start menu at the lower left of your screen
* Select Settings and then Control Panel
* Open the Display application
* Choose the Settings tab at the top of the window
* In the Desktop Area section, reset your monitor's display to 800 x 600 or greater
* Click OK

For Macintosh:

* Click on the Apple icon at the upper left of your screen
* Select Control Panels / Monitors and Sound from the pull-down list
* In the Resolution section, reset your monitor's display to 800 x 600 or greater

If you can't see the entire page from top to bottom, simply use the scroll bar at the right of your screen to move up and down.

WHY DOES ADC COLLECT PERSONAL INFORMATION?
To save you time and make our entry process easy to use, the ADC Young Guns entry site allows you to create an Entrant ID using your personal information. Here's how it works: simply fill out a brief profile (your name, address, phone number and email), then choose a password. The system saves your information. Next time you enter work into either the ADC Annual Awards or ADC Young Guns competition, you can simply enter this username and password, and the system will automatically look up the information it needs. This reduces the need for you to continually input your details.

WHAT IS ADC'S PRIVACY POLICY?
Protecting your privacy is important to ADC. We strive to keep your personal information confidential. ADC does not share your personal information with those sponsors who partner with ADC and is not responsible for their privacy practices.

HOW DOES THE ADC YOUNG GUNS ENTRY SITE PROTECT DATA?
Account data is protected by two independent security protocols: encryption of data, and a unique username and password combination chosen by the user. No account information can be accessed unless a registrant's username and password have been correctly entered.
