Fine print: One entry per person. Categories are grades 6-8 and 9-12. Your drawing has to have your name, phone number, and grade written on the back or attached somehow. Email digital entries to Cressant. You can still win even if you don't come to the party. And don't worry; you'll get your drawings back. But we do want to scan them and post them to Facebook to show everyone how awesome you are.
