For Visual Art entries, if you are photographing your artwork, please make sure there are NO fingers, shadows, background objects, etc. showing - just your artwork itself. Ideally, if you can scan your work, and send as a PDF, that will be the most presentable, but if not, a clear, fingers-free photograph will be OK.
Remember, we plan to exhibit the top entries, so make sure your artwork is strong/dark enough to be seen from afar.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL!
