Photos of poor quality or inadequate resolution cannot be considered.
· Short Videos

All submissions should be sent either by an official chapter adviser or student officers, and will be reviewed by Sigma Delta Pi's Executive Committee for possible inclusion in the Museo Virtual. Outstanding submissions that are approved for inclusion in the museum will be eligible for the Frida Kahlo Award, to be presented during National Charter Month in November 2022.
