AUTHENTIC ARTWORK POLICY

ANY WORK THAT INCLUDES AI-GENERATED ART WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED. This helps showcase the creativity and technical skills of our students, as well as protect the integrity of the program.

NOTES

ALL WORK ACCEPTED FOR THE SHOW WILL BECOME PART OF OUR PERMANENT COLLECTION UNLESS
IT IS AN ORIGINAL PIECE OF ART (i.e., it is hand drawn or a package design prototype, etc. If it can be
reprinted in electronic form, it is not an original piece; it is a print of the original, meaning you can print more
later if you so choose).

We’re looking forward to some great work from all of you!
