HOW THINGS WORK

A jury of professional artists and educators will select up to 50 artworks to be made into banners. Selections will be based on:

• Thoughtful interpretation of the theme

• Readability (since banners are viewed from a distance, we are looking for images that are bold and not overly detailed.)

• Craftsmanship

• Originality

NOTE: Artwork that includes any copyrighted material will not be accepted. For example, if an artwork shows a character, place, or image from a television show, film, video game, or book it will be rejected. All artworks must be original and created entirely by the applicant.
