Submission Guidelines
Manuscripts and artwork are judged in a non-partial manner so that they can be judged on a qualitative basis. Therefore, for written submissions, please remove your name from the manuscript itself, and from headers that may be on multi-page submissions. The Submission Manager form that you fill out for each piece will contain all the contact information needed. Of course, artwork that is signed is acceptable; we just want the selection process to be as fair as possible. Please visit the Waving Hand’s website for detailed submission guidelines.
