THE RULES

ELIGIBILITY

• Open internationally to all active COLORED PENCIL Magazine subscribers, their spouses, and children (up to 18 years old).
• Artwork must be created after 9/12/22, using your own or copyright-released reference to qualify with authority to give us permission to print your artwork.
• Artwork must include name, challenge name, size, materials used, and category.
• Artwork must be at least 80% colored pencil*. 20% can be any other medium. *Note: Our definition of colored pencil in its simplest form is 1) it must be a pencil and 2) it must be pigmented. This means we include pastel, ink, watercolor, wax, and oil-based pencils! This does NOT include chalks or sticks.
• Limited to 3 original entries per subscription. No work-in-progress or crops are permitted as extras.
• Posted work must be family-friendly – no nudity or vulgarity. Entries we deem in violation will be deleted at our discretion without notice.
• Artwork must be uploaded and posted to our group page by the deadline listed (Midnight, Eastern Time).
• Images must represent the actual artwork as much as possible. Photoshop usage must be limited to color corrections to match original work and cannot be used for manipulations, clean-up, or modifications of your artwork. You cannot work directly on a photocopy or grayscale image! Line transfers (tracing onto your own paper), however, is acceptable. Any submissions in question will be required to show work-in-progress images to satisfy our judges.
• If entry is brought into question, we may require more information about your artwork, including materials and methods used.
• Winners are contacted via their submitted Flickr account through a private message. To claim your prize, winners have 7 days to submit a non-watermarked, high resolution (300 ppi) image along with name and email for the prize to be sent to.
• Random prize will be selected from qualifying entries and will be shipped to USA addresses only.
• Prize-winning artists are eliminated from the random drawing. However, artists who are Honorable Mentions are still included in the random pool.
• You can only win one time in the Beginner and Intermediate Categories before being bumped to the next level. You can only win in the Advanced Category once a year, but you may still enter for an Honorable Mention position.
• Once you enter in a category, you cannot go back to a lower one.
• By uploading your artwork to our Flickr page, you are agreeing to our terms of service below. We reserve the right to remove files from our page without prior notice.
