What are the requirements for entering Worths Illustration contests?
ORIGINALITY You must be the original artist of your entry, first and foremost. We’ll trust you on that, but it needs saying- do not enter anyone else’s artwork as your own; not only will your entry be disqualified, you could be banned from participating in any contest on the site, in any category. Entries for illustration contests must be entirely original creations, no photographs, artwork from other artists, or rendered images created in Poser, Bryce, 3d Studio Max, etc. Any of the aforementioned images may not be pasted into your entry or traced. You may use any of these things as a visual reference to look at while you work, but again- they may not be pasted into your entry or traced, unless otherwise specified in the contest rules. In addition, if you do use a photograph for reference, the resulting image must never be an exact replica of that image- your image must be significantly different from the photo used- gridding a photograph of your reference as an aid is not allowed. “C
