If your work is suggested by faculty for an ADDY submission in the final exam meeting, you are welcome to email me the pdf file of your invoice to verify me your submissions to ADDY before 12:00 PM on December 18 if you hope to get an extra credit to your final grades. The total extra credit is a 5-point bonus credit or a 6-point credit depends on a single entry or more than one entries by paying your own fund. A single entry’s fee is $28 USD.

ADDY Award submissions are not mandatory and they would not impact your final grade if you don’t want to submit anything.

If you don’t have an account on the AAF submission website, please create one and make sure to select the Rio Grande Valley chapter for your account.

To enter your work, it will be better to provide a URL of your work and include an abstract (about 250-word) for each work no matter your work is a print-based or an interactive online-based entry as many jurors reside outside of the valley and the judging process will be processed through internet.

To provide a URL of your work on Behance or anywhere else such as Flickr or any portfolio site for judging, it will be better to change your profile image to an image other than your real portrait, and change your Behance’s account name to another nickname which doesn’t have your real name. The reason why ADDY suggests this way as AAF doesn’t want the juror to identify a entrant by a real name with a real profile image in case a judge knows the entrant and is biased in any way. You can change your account name back to your real name after June 15, 2023. For anyone who have already submitted work, the account name change would not impact the submitted link for judging if you want to change your account name after your submission.
