The following is a list of rules and procedures for this category. Failure to fulfill these obligations and/or any violation of them may result in point loss.
- No more than two (2) students from each school can register for this competition.
- This competition is NOT a team effort. Each competitor must turn in a separate piece of work.
- MIST ID and order of competition will be pre-assigned on a random selection basis.

- Artwork should avoid realistic, representational rendering of lifelike human or animal form. If in doubt, contact your Regional Competitions Headquarters. Therefore, fully defined facial, skeletal, or muscular features are not permitted. If in doubt, contact your Regional Competitions Headquarters.
- All submissions must be 3-dimensional.
- Make sure your artwork is dry before submitting it to the judges.
- Artwork should also be placed on a board for easy carrying. The board can be made of any material sturdy enough to carry the artwork.
- 3D art should be sturdy. Judges are looking for artwork that is well put together. Please note that your work may be moved around on several occasions, and it should be robust to handle these multiple moves.
- Each participant will be interviewed for five (5) minutes in order to describe purpose and inspiration of the artwork. Interview questions can be found in the last section of the 2D Art Ballot. Please note that if there are more than fifteen (15) entries for this competition, only the top fifteen (15) entries (based on artwork and written statement) will be interviewed. In this case, an open gallery preliminary judging round will take place, and all entries will be judged according to the 2D/3D Art Ballot. The top fifteen (15) that advance will have a five (5) minute interview with the Judges’ Panel.
- A typewritten statement of the artwork, no more than one (1) page (500 words max.) must be included with the artwork. The explanation will include what the artwork is about and what inspired the competitor to make it, as well as specific answers to the interview questions. Please note that the written statement is an integral component of qualifying for an interview in the top fifteen.
- Both the interview and artwork (with written statement) will be judged according to the Arts Competition Ballot (available in rulebook for reference).
