//- In all categories, the standard and creativity of the language and the visual aspect of its presentation will be the criteria.// //- On the pro forma to accompany each entry, the word “mostly” will be included before the word “accurate” so that the students are more encouraged to have a go – it is then up to the individual school to send in their top 3 entries in each language taught at the school, for each category.// //- No photos, no computer-generated images and no cutout pictures are to be used.//
