You will be able to continue editing the form information within the entry time until the work has been paid for. Fill in the form with the background of the work, the creative solution and the execution. This information will only be visible to the jury. Remember to clearly mark all the different components of the work under Work components. You can complete the form either in Finnish or English. Only the Work description field on the Published information page must be completed in both Finnish and English. We will request for more precise details of the creators for the shortlisted entries at a later date, so please keep hold of your login details. If your work includes files that exceed 30 MB, you should attach a download link: do not upload the file directly to the form. Please note that to ensure anonymity, the competition entries must not display the creator’s name. With each entry, attach 2-4 images both in hi-res and web resolutions. These images will be used in the yearbook and on our website, should the work succeed in the competition. Please note that kapa boards will be delivered for the judging. Only virtual materials and physical pieces from for example publications or packaging will serve the basis for judging. 4.
