• Only one entry per artist and competition allowed.
• The entry has to be delivered in .bmp, .iff, .png or .tga format, no lossy formats like .jpg please!
• Maximum resolution is 1024x768 pixels.
• All entries will be shown at least twice at different daytimes to compensate for the light level in the hall.
• We will have a jury preselection before the compos. Entries that didn't make it through the preselection can't be voted for and won't be spread.
• You must include exactly 4 (four) working stages of your entry. All entries without working stages will be disqualified, additional working stages will be removed from the archive!
• The working stages must have the filename "step1.???", "step2.???", "step3.???" and "step4.???", where ??? is the extension of whatever format you use.
• You must also include a list of the tools used, to be displayed on the big screen.
• Only still images are allowed, no animations.
• Please make sure that your entry is free of third-party rights! (For example, you may not include photographs if you don't own the copyright or have a legal license for it).
• Also please remember this is a competition meant for graphic artists. Please do not hand in pure (or just slightly retouched) photographs, they'd probably get preselected out of the competiton.

If you have questions or suggestions about these rules, contact the organizers at .

• Use every tool you wish, pixel, render or scan and retouch whatever, just let your creativity flow.
• If your working stages don't look plausible, your entry will be disqualified.

• The only rule is that the image must be related to a given theme.
• The given theme this year is "Real vs. Fake". Your entry must be related to this topic in some way or another. Of course obscure relations are welcome, too, so let your creativity flow and see where in this world, life and your mind you might be able to spot "Real vs. Fake" contrasts.
• If your working stages don't look plausible, your entry will be disqualified.

• The entry has to be delivered as executable program (started with RUN) on a 5.25" disk.
• Again, you must include exactly 4 (four) working stages of your entry, and all entries without working stages will be disqualified. This goes for all Graphics compos, but this rule is most often violated for C64 Graphics, so we repeat it here.
• All formats/modes are allowed.
• Only the picture will be shown, no sound, no decrunch sequence, no credits screen.
• If your working stages don't look plausible, your entry will be disqualified.
• Scrolling pictures are not allowed.
