Art submissions must be high resolution. 300 dpi. You can scan your artwork to achieve these requirements.

Maximum file size 50MB. If your file is larger than that, provide a smaller size and we’ll get the larger one from you should you win.

If your artwork is not a digital file and is instead on a canvas or paper, we recommend researching how to turn canvas or prints into a digital file. You can scan the image or take a photo with a camera and then clean it up in Photoshop.

Please note that we cannot edit the entries. What you submit will be what we will score and consider if it can translate on to a tote.
