Art Contest Guidelines

Do I have to provide a prize[s] for my contest?

Yes! Without prizes it would not be a contest.

Do I need to announce a deadline for my contest?

Of course, without a deadline your contestants would have no idea when their piece is due.

Do I need to include references in my contest?

Providing references is key in showing your contestants what you want drawn or to give them ideas. So yes, you should include references in your contest.

How many contests am I allowed?

You only have the permission to create one contest at a time. If it is noticed that you have multiple contests open ones that are not in use will be locked.
