Does a half-elf with an Imperial culture qualify?

They do.

Should the piece be created by the character submitting it, or can it have different provenance? Should the brief history be included in the show description?
meager scroll
I'm not sure I understand your question about creation.
The brief history does not have to be part of the show.
granite barn
For the history: Is a field going to be added to the contest form for the history. then? Currently it's just character name, base, and show. Is the history supposed to be about the creation of the piece, or of the event it depicts?
For the creation: is the artist meant to be the character attached to the submission, or could they be presenting a work that they acquired in some other way?
dreamy quest
there isn't a way to submit an idea such that when people of a certain society look at it they see something different compared to everyone else, is there? like different LOOK messages based on things like there are taste messages?
meager scroll
Woah. Uhm.... Let me fix the form for the history.
Your character can present it as an acquisition.
Your character is not necessarily meant to be part of the piece.
No, I can't change the looks.
Form is Updated.

these are very fun little contests

Hi Thandiwe, I could still use a little clarification on the brief history part. Is that meant to be about how the art was created and/or acquired, or about the event it depicts, or both, or something else entirely? Thanks in advance!
meager scroll
Apologies, mostly I'm looking for historical information or tidbits on the art itself.
That way, when/if it is use, there can be discussions of "Oh yes, this is a lovely representation of xy z

Sorry, I’m being thick. So like descriptions of the artistic style (a la “what a fantastic use of Impressionism”) or about the event (a la “what a great way to commemorate Washington crossing the Delaware”)?
sleek gazelle
art history, or art about history haha

Oh, art about history

So a brief history about the event being depicted in the art — got it, and thank you for your patience, Thandiwe!

(You still have time! It's not due til end of day today!)
dreamy quest
its a complex mix of covering up my lack of creativity in the medium and respect for the fact that Ordim is usually a joke/gimmick submission and I respect that it should be a bit more serious than that, plus a splattering of just stepping aside to let others participate and be seen. I submitted muffins, thats my speed 🙂
