Photos of sculpture must have a solid background. 

Image Upload Guidelines:

1.    Save entries as a jpeg at 1200 pixels on the longest side.

2.    Name your jpeg entries: First, Last Name_ Title.jpg 

       Example: John Brown_The Green Stripe.jpg

3.   The Title in jpg MUST match the Title of Entry

      Example: The Green Stripe
