Note: Remember: Artists submitting works in 2-dimensional categories must submit one image per work; Artists submitting works in 3-dimensional categories must submit 2 images per work.

Note: you want your images to be as close to maximum size without going beyond that size. This ensures the best quality image for viewing by the judge.
