KNOW THE RULES!

It is YOUR responsibility to know all the RULES and DEADLINES that pertain to your project. It is best to review them BEFORE you begin constructing your entry, and then review them again AFTER you are done. There is nothing more disappointing than having a stellar project that does not move on because of a rules infraction.
