I read the Fine Print.

It seems I can't print out the pics they provided, paint it (actually Crayola it) and mail my entry in. So my artistic flair will never be seen by others.

Now that I think of it, that may be a good thing.

Mail it to me and I'll scan it for you and then email it back and you can email it into them :P

Or if you have a modern mobile, or know someone who does, crayon your design and have them take a piccy of it to email :lol: :D

OMG you youngsters these days, do you not realize that true art cannot be digitized???

One must smell the Crayons, must feel the waxy texture, must be able to smell the chocolate smears on the paper from the cake I was eating with a glass of milk as I coloured inside the lines! It is art and a full sensory experience! One can TASTE the deep Mango-Tango orange and smell the muted orange of the Macaroni and Cheese Yellow. The soft blue of Cornflower or the power of Jazzberry Jam Purple. Use your Nose! Your hands! Let your mind wander in the Waxy Fragrance!

You cannot fully appreciate the mindset of the artist if you only use your eyes! Free Your Mind! And your Heart Will Follow!!!!



*Note: Those are actual Crayola Crayon Colour names. See Here.
