To be considered, the submission must not be obscene, indecent or profane. We believe that every person is created in the image of God in order to fill the earth with beauty, hope, and meaning. One of the most powerful ways to unleash this creativity is through the arts, which have the ability to bridge culture, class, race, and stereotypes. Art goes straight to the heart.

If the applicant is a group of two or more, all participants must be within the age requirement.
