ENTRIES MUST BE POSTMARKED BY FEBRUARY 29, 2006

Each entry must include your name, address, telephone, name of corps or church you attend, and category entry.  Photocopy the entry form and attach it to each separate entry!  Originals will NOT be returned.

Members of the National Publications staff will serve as judges.  They will not see names on the entries, so everyone has an equal chance of winning.  Winners will receive cash prizes, and the top award winners will have their works published in the May 2006 issue of Young Salvationist.

Entries must be typewritten and double-spaced.  Photocopies are acceptable. NO tracings or colored-in handout materials will be accepted – remember, that’s copyrighted material!  Photos (slides or prints) may be color or black and white.  For print quality reasons, we cannot accept digital images.  Original art may take almost any form, but it must be mailed flat or rolled so that it can be reproduced without wrinkles.

Your work will be judged for originality, clarity or thought and artistic and spiritual impact.
