Design Requirements:

• Students can submit multiple entries, but can only win once.

• Once an entry has been submitted, it will be considered for judging during any subsequent weeks, if it did not win during the week it was submitted (so you have a better chance of winning if you submit your entry early!!).

• There will not be a limit on the number of winning bags from a specific school, however judge's discretion may apply.

• There will not be a specific number of prizes awarded to different grade categories, however judge's discretion may apply.

• Winners will be contacted via direct message on Instagram for winning bag entrant's contact information.  If no response is received within 48 hours, another bag may be selected. 

 

Recommendations for a good contest submission:

• Make sure there is good lighting and that your message is easy to read.

• Place the bag on a neutral or dark background. Try to avoid other items in the background of the picture. Stand directly above the bag; avoid angle-shot pictures.

• Be sure to capture the whole bag in your post.

• Only submit one bag per post. Avoid taking pictures of multiple bags.
