Judging Criteria for This Year

Your ideas and artistic interpretation of the theme matter more than technique. Don't be intimidated to create just because you never took an art lesson or think that your friends are better artists.

Your Artist's Statement is crucial, so put some effort in writing it. Explain carefully how your art relates to this year's theme (e.g., relates to an aspect of your culture you want to highlight).
