Entry Rules & Guidelines

Please make sure your entry follows the guidelines for its category. If not, your entry may be disqualified.

  • Materials used may include pencil, ink, charcoal, crayon, markers, pastel, paint, mixed media, collage, graphic design or similar 2D media.

  • Must be typed or, if handwritten, must be legible.
  • Ask an adult to review spelling and grammar for errors prior to submission.
