Only one entry per person, team, or business may be entered. A person may not submit something as an individual and as a team member in the same contest. Contestant names will not be made public until the voting portion of that contest is complete. Size is not an issue, unless stated in the required sculpure description. A creation with a single balloon is just as valid as one with thousands.
Creativity is the key.
If you are subscribed to the BHQ mailing lists or not, enter your sculpture, or have someone who is submit for you, or mail your entry in. Just get it in and you have a chance. A minimum of 3 different contestants must enter the contest. If the minimum number of entries is not reached, the contest submission period may be extended or the contest cancelled at the discretion of the Balloon HQ staff. All artwork submitted remains the intellectual property of the contestant.
