Each winner receives a full-page presentation of their work, along with a list of all the entrants. Up to 900 submissions were received and a majority of this work will be archived permanently on our website, all receiving an equal presentation. Anyone's work can be filtered from the international best, climbing further towards the top and ranking higher as you progress through your Region, Country, State or Province.
