  • Attached “aesthetic” photos are allowed, but must accurately represent the scope of the drawing (nothing in the photo should represent something that doesn’t exist in the drawing)
    • These photos should not contain people, or be the intellectual property of another person, or contain any watermarks showing you do not own the image
  • Submissions must represent an ADA-compliant structure that would be friendly and useful for disabled persons
    • Feel free to add detail notes about features beyond ADA compliance
  • Legibility is mandatory. Submissions with illegible lines, text, or otherwise “messy” content will be excluded from voting
  • Voting will be conducted via social media publicly
    • Entries will be credited to a “username” submitted with the drawing – “real names” don’t have to be made public if you don’t wish
