Special Entry Guidelines

1. All entries must be digital. Physical submissions will not be accepted.
2. Do not submit an online copy or link with any personal identification.
   For example. If you submit a digital copy (.jpg) of your work, do not say you have an online component, too if that is only going to be exactly the same static image. Further, the links often are to the student’s portfolios and all their other work is there and their names. The only time online/web based things should be included is if it is interactive or video or animation.
3. Only links that do not reveal your personal identification may be provided.
4. If your layout includes a QR code that links to your Behance or other social media profiles, ensure no personal identification is accessible. To maintain an unbiased judging process, follow these recommendations for interactive entries:
   • Profile Image: Temporarily replace your profile image with a generic one. You may revert to your original image after June 30, 2025.
   • Account Name: Change your Behance account name to a nickname that does not reveal your real name. Restore your actual name after June 30, 2025.
   • Project Title: Avoid using real names in project titles to prevent personal identification in URLs. Entries with identifiable names may be disqualified.
