Students will need their Participant ID number, and password, from their advisor.
Students will submit their portfolio. Students will be scored on items a-h of the documentation portfolio, including mood boards and rough sketches.
Judges will require the companion characters together in all materials except the mood boards (d), rough sketches (e), and studies (g).
