Q, will all submissions be jpeg (.jpg)
files?
A. All 2 dimensional art (sketches,
drawings, paintings, etc.) needs to be converted
to a jpg image by taking a digital photograph of it at the highest resolution
possible. If the art is 3 D..sculpture or a model, then it needs to be
photographed at high resolution and submitted as a jpg image file. Digital
art can easily be converted to .jpg images. All art will first be reviewed
as image files on our web site, and only winners will be contacted to request
the art as it was originally created.
Video files are submitted as in you-tube formatted video; please follow the instructions
on the video upload section of the http://artcontest.cet.edu web
site.
Q: Can the students use the existing
images posted by NASA for the competition.
A: Students cannot use images from another student or NASA artist;
however, they can use NASA photographs as provided on www.nasa.gov-search NASA
image exchange on the web site. In any case, if a student chooses to incorporate
a NASA image or another's photograph into their art, they need to give credit
to that photographer or to NASA in the artist statement...we are asking students
for original work...so the photograph would have to be part of a larger work.
