All artworks submitted for the competition will be shared, digitally, to a preselected Art Panel. All names will be withheld during the jury process. Each Panelist will be responsible for reviewing all submissions and have a deciding vote in which submissions will be accepted or denied. Collectively, Panelists will determine which submission will be awarded the grand prize. All Artists will be notified of the Art Panel's decision by April 8, 2022.
Each work submitted for judging must be represented by a digital image. Do not send physical artworks. All judging will be conducted electronically, so the quality of the application imagery is vitally important. Only submissions following the proper format as outlined below will be accepted:
In order for your application to be accepted, you must submit in the required format one original artwork that reflects the campaign theme “Ting Internet: Fiber Connects Us All” What does connection mean to you?". All other artworks must be original and owned by you. Copyrighted artworks submitted we may require verification. All submitted works must meet format requirements outlined in the “Submitting image files” section. If you do not meet all requirements, your application will be denied. If your application is denied due to incorrect formatting, you have the option to reapply with the corrected format before the deadline Friday, March 25, 2022, 11:59 p.m. EST.
