All artworks submitted for the competition will be shared, digitally, to a preselected Art Panel. All names will be withheld during the jury process. Each Panelist will be responsible for reviewing all submissions and have a deciding vote in which submissions will be accepted or denied. Collectively, Panelists will determine which submission will be awarded the grand prize. All Artists will be notified of the Art Panel's decision by April 8, 2022.
Each work submitted for judging must be represented by a digital image. Do not send physical artworks. All judging will be conducted electronically, so the quality of the application imagery is vitally important. Only submissions following the proper format as outlined below will be accepted:

All submitted works must meet format requirements outlined in the “Submitting image files” section. If you do not meet all requirements, your application will be denied.
