    How to Enter

    1. Join Spoonflower.
    2. Create your fabric design in the medium of your choice. Scan your design if it's non-digital.
    3. Save your file in JPG, PNG, GIF, TIF, SVG, AI or EPS format and upload it to Spoonflower. The minimum resolution should be 150dpi, but higher is better.

      » More information about file formats and uploading.
    4. Make your design public. On the design's page, click 'Edit Status' and tick the box for 'I would like to include this design in my public gallery.' You do not need to make your design available for sale, just have it in your public gallery so mods can check your entry.

    Rules

    1. Fabric designs must be uploaded to Spoonflower, so all Spoonflower terms of service apply, including copyright terms. If you have questions about their terms, ask them (not us).
    2. The design must be 100% your original creation, made specifically for this contest and reflecting the 'Me and My Shadow' theme.
    3. The design must be for one yard of fabric, no more or less. It may be one repeated pattern or divided into a combination of patterns. You may add decorative borders or include a template in the fabric design to create doll-scale clothing.
    4. At least 50% of the fabric must in scale for dolls of 1/3, 1/4 or 1/6 size. It's acceptable to have 50% (half a yard) in human scale for people who want to make items to match their dolls. A combination of doll scales is acceptable, as is a design 100% in one scale.
    5. Design entries may not be offered for sale until the contest closes. If you later decide to offer your design for sale, please make sure that it does not violate doll manufacturers' copyrights.
    6. You may only submit one entry.
