The NWSF online registration process utilizes PayPal. You do not need to have a PayPal account as PayPal will accept most major credit cards. A modest amount has been added to the registration fee to offset the PayPal processing fee. If you prefer to not pay the processing fee you may print, fill in, and mail paper forms that are available on the NWSF information page, but please ensure there is enough time for your paper registration to reach us before Tuesday 8/15.
