Image quality and resolution is very important. This is the only exposure to your work jurors will have, and a poor representation (such as a blurred image, or one affected by glare, dim lighting, or unnecessary background objects) may reduce your chances of being selected.
No - the design should only reflect the themes provided in the competition brief. All designs must be clear of any copyright information so the identity of all artists remain anonymous. In the interest of fairness, judges will not see names of the artists. Any images that do contain artists’ names or any other watermark/copyright information will be disqualified.
