These rules look too complicated to me. * Skip the distinction between vector and bitmap formats.* Change the requirement about resultions to say that the artwork must be *available* in all resolutions (after being picked in the contest), not when submitting the artwork. Submitting may rather be done at a size suitable for displaying in the contest web page. Like 800x600 or even smaller. * Remove the requirement about work sample and replace that with a requirement that the submitter needs to either hold the copyright, or have the license to supply this artwork for use in Haiku. It may or may not be a good additional requirement that the particular artwork has not yet been used for another purpose. For example: I would submit foto artwork which my mom created, and to which she gave me the exclusive right to include it in Haiku.
