AESTHETIC GUIDELINES

Traditionally, the alampay and tapis match. Please see the attached period references.
  2. Please see the attached sheet for the recommended size for the sleeves. All entries must conform to the size of these indicated proportions only.
  3. Use of profanities and politically incorrect images are strictly prohibited.
  4. Excessive body exposure is discouraged.
