Submission Specifications for Participants

Participants may present diverse forms of drawing works, including modern creative drawing, traditional classic painting rendition, free-style illustration interpretation, improvisational hand-painted creation, and themed original Halloween creative drawing pieces. Entries can be individual or group collaborative works. Contestants may adopt standard drawing composition structures, visual presentation patterns and artistic expression techniques to showcase personal creation characteristics and unique creative conceptions.
All works should demonstrate solid artistic foundation and drawing accomplishment, including smooth line presentation, reasonable pictorial layout, profound artistic conception, coherent creative logic and distinct thematic expression. Traditional-style painting works should adhere to orthodox painting norms and cultural connotations, while original creative drawing pieces are encouraged to integrate contemporary perspectives and modern artistic ideas. Participants may create works with unrestricted themes and styles, as long as the entries conform to positive cultural orientation and aesthetic values of the competition. Standard creation formats are allowed, and basic artistic polishing and auxiliary modification methods are permitted to optimize the presentation of drawing works.
Participants must submit complete and standard final versions of their drawing works with intact content, clear creative context and full artistic expression. A short attachment including the participant’s name, age and brief creative introduction is required for entry. All submitted artwork files must be in standard readable formats with accurate color and layout arrangement and neat pictorial presentation for professional official judging.
Works may be submitted via website upload, WhatsApp, or Email (only one method required), and must be named in accordance with competition rules.

Express delicate artistic feelings through natural tonal variations and balanced structural layout. Keep a unified creation style across the whole work with consistent artistic charm in group collaborative pieces.

Performance Technique & Technical Control: Show solid artistic fundamentals, including reasonable structural proportion, steady line presentation, clear picture framework, fine creation details and proper visual layering. Maintain stable tonal control and reasonable use of picture space. Group works must keep unified style and neat layout. Combine standard traditional painting skills with personal creativity to raise overall artistic quality.

Artistic Appeal & Emotional Expression: Blend personal aesthetic taste, artistic understanding and painting skills into the work.
