The 2012-2013 League for Innovation Student Art Competition, now in its 27th year, enables community college students to compete with their peers across North America. The competition is open to League for Innovation Board Colleges only and is hosted by Anne Arundel Community College District.

Eligibility: Students currently enrolled in fine or applied art classes at League member colleges are eligible to enter. Any type of artwork may be submitted, including three-dimensional pieces. Each college may submit up to five works to the national competition. All entries must be submitted by April 11, 2013, through your college's League for Innovation juried art competition coordinator.

All images must be formatted to 1920 x 1920 pixels, saved as BASELINE Standard JPEG (not Progressive JPEG), under 1.8 MB, in RGB color space (preferably sRGB).
