Collaborative Works and Group Projects: Every piece that bears the student's name counts as one of their total number of entries (i.e., entering one collaborative piece means each student can submit no more than 3 other pieces).
 
Jury Process and Notification of Juror's Decision:
 
The jurying process will be conducted with consideration for juror discretion and the following constraint: the amount of physical space. Excessively large work or works in sets will decrease the total number of accepted works, thus they will be juried more stringently.

Acceptance Notifications will be sent by email via ArtCall. A list of accepted works will be posted outside the Department of Art + Design office as soon as possible after the jurying process.
