- 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.

Photoshop usage must be limited to color corrections to match the 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, are 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.
