Submission Guidelines
1. The contest is open to all students in grades 6-12, regardless of experience or skill level. No previous sketching or drawing experience is required. The goal is to encourage fun, creativity, and expression.

3. Only one submission per contestant. Contestants may not submit more than one entry.
4. Contestants may submit either a hand-drawn or digital sketch of their superhero. The sketch should include the superhero's name and powers. It can be created on standard letter-sized paper (8.5” x 11”) or in a digital format (JPEG, PNG, or PDF).
5. Use any art materials you like, such as pencils, markers, crayons, colored pencils, or digital art tools. There are no limits to your creativity!
