FOR DIGITAL SUBMISSIONS: Please send digital images on CD Rom, DVD, or via the internet. If submitting online, please send a URL (website address) where we can view your work. It need not be a professional site; we only want to see the piece you are submitting, not your entire collection of works. So, feel free to put your submission on a HomePage through your internet provider (for example, AOL's free Hometown pages). Please do not send visual art submissions as E-Mail attachments, unless we specifically approve it ahead of time.
