Rules for voting will be posted near to submission closing date on March 20 2010.
DISPLAY
All submitted entries that adhere to guidelines will be displayed on the Pirates of the Yarribean website. A selection of best entries, chosen at the Judges' discretion, will continue to be hosted and displayed for as long as the Pirates of the Yarribean website stands.
MEDIUM
We welcome work from ALL CREATIVE ENDEAVOURS, including sculpture, photography, ceramics, papercraft, culinary arts, decoupage, even lego!
PHOTOGRAPHING / SCANNING YOUR WORK
Please take particular care in your final digital presentation. Make sure you adjust your colours and contrast to match your original work, crop out anything that is not part of your artwork, and ensure your horizontal alignment is dead straight.
If you photograph a sculpture sitting on a chair, for example, and that chair is not part of your artwork but is visible in the final digital image, it may be assumed that it is part of your artwork and will be judged accordingly.
CONTENT RULES
No offensive imagery: Please be aware that artworks containing offensive, sexist, racist, homophobic or derogatory imagery will not be exhibited or judged.
No copyright material: This includes photoshopping celebrities, internet photos or images from movies. Basically anything taken or copied from somewhere else is copyrighted under Australian law and will not be displayed or judged.
