During moderation we may also notice technical or artistic issues that the author did not see, and in such cases the project may be declined.

1.11 Dear participants, we strive to showcase as many of your works in the gallery as possible and always try to accommodate your submissions. At the very least, we almost always accept one work from each participant. However, we expect only your very best renders, ones that truly have the potential to win an award. When submitting multiple works from one project, please be prepared for the possibility that we may only select a small portion that can compete with other participants.

1.12 During the submission period, all renders accepted into the Gallery are published on our Instagram and Threads accounts.

1.13 The winner of the contest is determined by the results of the judges' voting from December 1st to December 10th.
