The 30-Minute Entry Checklist
Everything an entry actually requires:
- Project images. Your best 5 to 10, hero shot first. The jury sees the first image before anything else; make it the one that sells the idea.
- Credits. Studio, client, and individual contributors. Five minutes if you have the list handy.
- A short project description. What it is and why it matters. Clear beats clever.
- Category selection. Five new categories this year, and the same project can enter more than one; see the full category list.
- Payment. Volume discount kicks in at 20% off beyond three entries in one transaction.
That is the whole list. Most entries take under 30 minutes.
