Is there a limit on how many categories you can enter if you submit from a region at large?

Okay...it's been a week since they said they would fix the registration issues.

Anyone else want to email Online Registration and find out what's going on? I don't want to be annoying.

I've never heard of this until now. So you have to have a teacher sponsor or something? Or can you just do it on your own?

I won a gold key in 2004. Your school can only send in a few things, so it must be chosen by your school.

If you're an artist, they LOVE portraits. Half of the winners had self portraits (including me).

lol They don't have my school listed at registration. -_-
lol I think the local newspaper and my county website are the only places that list us. (And yes, I'm sure I had the right zip code.)
*sigh* This is our first year in existence.
I sent them an e-mail.

hmmmm
i would love to enter apparel design.
but like.
does it have to be something crazy/eccentric/really artsy do you think?
or can it just be well designed and made?

b/c I have this dress I made for a party, its flapper style, completely sequined with ~4 rows of tassles on the bottom, etc.

I also would like to know if there is a limit to submissions if you are entering from Region-at-Large. Can you enclose all your submissions in one folder or do you have to mail them all separately? I assume you have to pay $5 for each entry, right?

They have some examples of the apparel design on the website. It does have to be pretty creative. Think haute couture. They don't want to see something that you could just buy at the mall.

The deadline for submission is sometime in January usually; the exact day depends on your region. They would like you to be registered by Christmas, though it's not really a big deal.
