Students must fill out a registration form (Download Entry Form Here), signed by both the student and their parent or guardian.

Students must include a display tag on the front of their artwork that includes the student’s name, school, grade, and teacher’s name. This information may be printed on a small piece of paper, approximately business card size (3.5” x 2”), and is to be attached to the front, lower right side of the picture.
