  1. Hi there!

    • I’m not sponsoring the contests, so here’s what you should do: Click on each contest you want to enter. There you’ll find the directions for entering — just follow the steps they give. I think almost all of the international contests have online entries. Let me know if you have any more questions!

  3. Hi,
    Can you please clarify whether this competition is international, Cz when I went through the information packet it says ‘competition open for US residents only’
    Thank you

    • I see what you mean. That is confusing — in one section, they say it’s worldwide, and another it says US residents only. I’ll email the sponsors and let you know what I find out.

    • Here’s what the representative at Pentel said:
      “The contest is international. We are merely the U.S. branch, so our form is U.S. specific. However, international entries can be sent to us (the U.S. branch), or directly to our Japan HQ, which is where final judging will take place.”

    • You want to send artwork to the Pentel contest, right? There’s a form to fill out with the artwork, and you can download it here . On this page, you’ll also find a place where it says “How to Submit Artwork.” You’ll find all of the instructions there. Good luck!
