Please review the tech specs with your crew, as needed. There is a programme page template below, you can use it if you want but it is not mandatory (but you can at least use it to get the correct page size). Please make sure that you follow the programme page guidelines on the "programme page info" document. (You can download the template by clicking the "pop out" arrow in the top-right corner of the preview, then clicking "download" in the top-right corner of the new window.) PROGRAMME PAGES THAT ARE INCORRECTLY SIZED WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED - THE CORRECT SIZE IS 5.5 x 8.5 INCHES (SOMETIMES CALLED "STATEMENT").
