RULES
Here are the rules; be sure that you follow them so you are not disqualified:
- Get creative!
- Utilize crayons, colored pencils, markers, pens, graphite, etc., to color a page from The Coloring Book Project book.
- Each artist needs to upload a clear photograph or scan of the page they are submitting for the contest and email it to: books@mementopublishing.com
- When you email the photo or scan of the artwork please provide your name, age and contact info.
- Do NOT rip the page out of the book, please leave colored artwork intact inside The Coloring Book Project book (if your piece is chosen as a winner, you will be required to mail the actual book with the colored page to Mike DeVries so that it can be verified that it was not a photocopy - the book will be mailed back to you as soon as it is verified).
- No photocopies allowed: submissions must be inside an original Coloring Book Project book.
-Getting your artist buddy to try and win you a tattoo will not count. Prize is not transferable!
- It only takes one to win, but each artist is allowed to enter up to 10 colored pages to the contest.
- Bonus Points: Mike is giving an extra 5 points to anyone who colors his page of artwork, which can be found on page 164 of The Coloring Book Project.
- Submissions will be posted on The The Coloring Book Project Facebook page, and/or the Memento Publishing Facebook page so don’t wait until the last minute to submit...send them as soon as you color them for exposure and accolades from your friends and fellow artisans.
- Submission deadline is January 1, 2013.
JUDGING
- Artwork will be judged and scored using a simple 1-100 point grading system (*high school flashbacks, anyone?).
- Judging will be done by Mike DeVries (with occasional input from a few of his artist friends if tie-breaker opinions are necessary). Mike will make the final call and announce the official winner.
- Winner will be announced on January 12, 2013.
