Hehe I see you found the site. :thumbsup:

I would like to enter....When is this first picture's competition done?

I'm interested too. When is the deadline?

Seems cool! I found something wierd though.

Your deadline says end of July, but the first picture choosing rule implies each contest is a week. Which is it?

Also, please spell check, there are lots of little mistakes.

I think I'll try this out if I'm allowed on. My parents have to recieve my report card first though, so until the tenth, I can not say for certain if I'm allowed to participate.

That is what confused me

sorry. it's suppost to be every month so it finishes at the end of july. i'll fix that now

Can the instrumentation be for an ensemble? The picture really suggests something big and orchestral! Also what do you want submitting - pdf score and mp3/MIDI?

Oh, and what's the painting called?
