If the piece is available online at the time of judging, only the URL needs to be submitted. Video pieces should be uploaded to a video service such as vimeo or youtube, with the URL for those pieces submitted via the online entry form. If the piece can not be made available online, it should be submitted via email to pgh365@pittsburgh.aiga.org. For UX and web work, consider sharing a video walkthrough to ensure judges do not miss any pertinent functionality.

Participants must send a physical representation of submitted work for judging and exhibition (if the entry is selected). All pieces from a single entrant should be sent in one package or envelope, when possible.
The online submission system will email labels that participants must print and affix to each piece (on lower back-side corner if possible). A url must be provided in the online submission system for interactive and time-based media entries. Physical pieces should be provided in the same form that the audience engages with it. Printed images of the work will be accepted only for environmental graphics, interactive work, and packaging or 3D entries. Selected entries will be displayed as submitted.
