All students in kindergarten through grade eight are eligible to enter the contest. Each student may enter one piece of art in only one of the following categories:

• Geometric Designs made with Markers, Colored Pencils, and Crayons:  Students make original designs using only markers, colored pencils, and crayons.
• Geometric Designs made with Glued-on Shapes:  Students must cut the shapes, arrange the shapes, and glue the shapes in place to make an original design.
• Tessellation Designs:  Students must make original tessellations using markers, crayons, colored pencils, or glued-on shapes. (TesselMania software cannot be used.)
• Computer-Generated Geometric Designs:  The posters must be completely student-generated, not randomly generated by the computer. In this contest, the computer should be utilized as a graphics tool. Posters created by graphic optical character readers (OCR Scanners) will not be allowed. The work on the poster must be done solely by the student under the supervision of the teacher. Computer generated posters must also include the name of the software or graphics package used.

Artwork is to be submitted digitally.  Each piece of artwork must have its own individual slide in the google slideshow.  Each slide with artwork must include the student's full name, grade level,  and school,  Entries not following these rules will be disqualified.  All artwork will be judged by a committee composed of elementary, secondary, and/or post-secondary instructors.  The artwork will be judged by MCTM on creativity, originality in uses of geometry, accurate mathematics, and neatness.  Each teacher should evaluate posters from their students and submit the best ones for final judging.

A template slide for each category is included in the following entry form.  Duplicate that slide as many times as you need for each of your entries in that category.  Take a picture of each piece of artwork that you are entering, upload each picture into its own individual slide, and then enter in the accompanying information for each entry.  Delete any unnecessary slides.  Please watch an instructional video on this process and submit any feedback to Ryun Deckert.
