“One adjective + One Noun”
With 40 minutes on the clock, contestants must draw live using digital tools while judges observe and score their work in real time. This format continues as the top artists advance to the finals. Both online and offline judging will take place in the later stages, and scores will determine who rises to the top.
Please ensure your final submission includes an accurate and relevant title that clearly reflects your chosen adjective and noun combination. This will be considered as part of the judging process.
