one against the other.

The registration form for the competition is found under the heading
>REGISTER in the homepages of the following websites: newitalianblood.com,
kwArt.com and archiworld.it. When registering, indicate the contact
email(s) to which all of the official competition correspondence is to be
sent.
Once registration is complete, a confidential userid and password will be
provided via email. Together the userid and password give access to the
self-publication form for the projects (this process is described below
under 'Interactive Self-Publication'). The same, assigned userid and
password may be re-entered under 'REGISTER' up until the date of the
competition deadline in order to access and modify the already posted
registration.

6. Interactive Self-Publication
Enter in the assigned userid and password under the heading of >SUBMIT
found at the homepages of newitalianblood.com, kwArt.com and archiworld.it.
Each of the self-published submissions is to be comprised of one (1)
homepage for the participants and two (2) pages for the presentation of the
project.
- HOME: 1 page
One jpeg, gif, or swf picture of the participant(s) (also animated) 315x225
pixels, 100k max. size
+ the curriculum vitae text, max. 750 characters in English
+ up to 10 links of the participants' own work already posted on the
internet (optional).
- PROJECT: 2 pages
One jpeg, gif or swf image of the project, per page (also animated) 945x225
pixels, 200k max. size
+ the descriptive text, max. 750 characters per page in English.
The participants self-publish their own projects online by way of a simple
interface. In order to use this interface, only a basic knowledge of email
is needed. Anyone who is able to send an email with an attached image is
able to self-publish their own project without difficulty.
The userid and password assigned upon registration, gives access to the
first publication form for the group participant's homepage, and then to
the second publication form of the two project presentation pages that open
in succession. Insert the requested text, choose the text and background
colors, and finally attach the desired image or animation to each page,
whereupon a preview of the submission can be confirmed in order to conclude
the process of auto-publication. If any modifications to the text or colors
are needed, do not confirm the preview, but turn back to review the
modification options and re-launch a preview. Once the auto-publication is
confirmed, it is possible to re-enter the userid and password to review and
modify the submission up until the date of the competition deadline.
