2. Physical pieces, such as paintings, drawings, or sculptures, must be submitted through photos. If the piece is 3D, such as a sculpture, please submit multiple angles. For digital pieces such as writing, photography, or digital art, attach the file. Please make sure that your photos are of good quality and make sure that the piece remains in your possession.
3. In the next few weeks after you have submitted, we will let you know whether it has been accepted or not and forward you feedback.
4. If the piece is accepted, you have the option to make changes according to the feedback but do not have to. We will ask for more information depending on the piece.
5. If the piece has not been accepted, you have the option to re-submit after making changes according to the expert feedback. Note: this does not guarantee that it will be accepted the second time, and you are only allowed to re-submit once unless stated otherwise by the staff.
