Conflicts(冲突)of Interest
Staff and volunteers currently working with ASF are not fit for consideration or publication. Additionally, students, former students, and colleagues of the judge’s are not admitted to participate(参加). We ask that previous winners wait three years after their winning entry is published before entering again.

We can’t wait for your submissions!
