ELIGIBILITY

• Open internationally to all ages. Parental consent may be required to claim prizes.
• Artwork must be created using our reference to qualify.
• Photo reference is copyright released. This means that you are allowed to use your artwork created using the photo however you’d like, including creating prints of your finished work, submitting them into qualifying contests, etc. You do not have the right to post or sell the photo itself.
• 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.

• 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.
