This year’s theme:

Miles of Magic

Design Rules:

1. Be no bigger than a sheet of paper (8.5” x 11”), either portrait or landscape is ok
2. Use white/plain art paper and black sharpie or pen. Digital drawings may also be accepted via email if 100% original by the artist and must be “drawn” (e.g. using a digital pen  with no use of clip art, purchased images, or pre-made shapes or fonts)
3. Be original artwork by a current Cherry Chase student (without any adult help. Parents, please let your students ink their own drawing)
4. Keep it simple (imagine it on the front of a shirt)
5. Use black and white only
6. Do not shade! Bold lines and simple shapes work best
7. Remember that it will be printed using a single color on a contrasting color t-shirt
8. On the back of the paper, include your name, classroom, and grade written clearly IN PENCIL. Do NOT write any personal information on the front, to help with the anonymous selection process.

Entries that do not follow the rules above may be eliminated from consideration.
