Objects must be at least the size of an apple, and no art work will be accepted that contains fruit that is smaller than an apple.
Shading, Shadows, correct application of these as well as highlights are of the utmost importance in the still life. Rendering of various materials that describe and depict the material is also required. Glass must look like glass, wood must show wood grain, etc.
