Well. we need a hard copy of the design when you submit your entry.
Thanks!
I go to an international school in Shanghai. If this contest includes EVERY international school in China does that mean I can just give my art teacher my designs and he’d know how to submit them to the LittleStar Magazine team without being puzzled?
Dear Jennifer,
Which school do you go to?
We will collect the postcard entries from every international school in the 1st week of February, 2012.
Thanks for joining us!

I go to SMIC School in Shanghai. Can I enter through my school?
could the entries be in landscape format instead of portrait?
could we include a short description?
How do we retrieve our original drawings if chosen?
is there any way to directly send it to little star magazine?
what if the drawing is self published before online?
my art teacher has sent in my entry but i dont know if i’ve got in. when will we find out?
