• The artworks must be 2D drawings, created with oil or acrylic paint, and completed between June 2010 and the present.
• Maximum size: 120cm wide x 120cm high
• All artworks are for sale. The selling price is calculated using the following formula: sale price (US$) / (width (cm) x height (cm) x 0.02) ≤ 100

For example: For a rainbow painting with a selling price of $2000, width: 50cm, height: 80cm, the calculation is as follows:

(50 x 80 x 0.02 = 80; 2000 / 80 = 25 (25 < 100, so $2000 is an acceptable price).
