9.0 - Submission Checklist

1. Make sure your EPS submission is Adobe Illustrator 8.0 compatible.

2. Check your file carefully for stray points, open shapes, unused color swatches, locked layers and unnecessary objects.

3. Don't be scared to zoom in very closely and tidy up any rough lines or shapes that don't quite meet up at the edges. 5 minutes of cleanup on an illustration can often mean the difference between an acceptance and a rejection.

4. If your file is derived from your own imagery (photo, sketch, 3D render, etc) make sure you've saved an RGB JPEG of your source material to upload.

5. Just to be safe, re-open your AI8 EPS file to make sure everything looks the way you want it to.

6. Save an RGB JPEG preview of your image at at least 1900 x 2800 pixels (or an equivalent pixel dimension).

7. Include any alternate file formats (AI, FH, Corel, PDF, etc), and/or alternate-color versions of your file in a separate ZIP folder if you wish (optional).

Now you're ready to go! We're looking forward to seeing the best your imagination has to offer.
