Piece Limit Guidelines

If you wish to submit multiple pieces, you must submit them separately. Only one piece is allowed per submission, but you can submit as many times as you like.
If you submit multiple pieces we will treat it as a collection and they will be rejected or accepted TOGETHER. (Which means we will more likely just reject them all. If you want them considered individually and to not drive our staff crazy, SUBMIT SEPARATELY!)
