All entries must be the original and unassisted work of one student. Group projects are not accepted. Your artistic creation must be done on your own; however, parents are allowed to help you with the presentation requirements such as burning the final project to disk and the preparation of the CD/DVD and entry form. Adults may also instruct the student on how to use the video equipment and editing programs, however they may not do the editing for the student.
