Tanx for the info bros.

Pls i'd like to know if i can re-apply for the award. I did apply last year during my service year, but i guess i wasn't contacted due to the incomplete information i sent. The space for my contact & office address was left blank. Actually, this was because of the area i stayed during service, there was No addressing system. Hence, i couldn't send any. So, what do you suggest that i do.

Hi Olowo Tee, you can re-apply.
its okay.
Later bro

tanx!
