Judges feedback
Tip for entrants: Spell check! And keep it simple - many entrants felt the need to show every single angle of the piece, sometimes multiple times. One clear image highlighting all the details is sometimes may be all that is needed."
"Do not be afraid of pushing the boundaries of your imagination while keeping to the brief. Please present your work as if you were putting it before a client"
