Special Note on Photographs vs. Digital Art when using photographs:  Please note the differences & register appropriately. 
-If you have used special effects, much editing, manipulating, and adjusting to create your art POST snapping the shutter, it is Digital Art.  
-If your photograph is largely untouched & your creativity is AT THE TIME of the snapping the shutter, then it is likely a piece to enter in Photography.  
You are only hurting yourself when you register it inappropriately. ***Please note:  Not all Digital Art even includes photography.  This note is for those that do.  

Special Note on Diptychs & Triptychs:  Diptychs & Triptychs that are entered in the database MUST be entered as ONE piece only.  By definition, these are 2 & 3 parts of a WHOLE, SINGLE piece. 

Artists & Database Mgrs.:  
-List the name of the piece, the complete size including ALL pieces together as one unit.  
-Put in parentheses the word diptych or triptych behind the title.  
-Those entering are subject to the prospectus of the member club & their payment schedule regarding these special pieces.  It is the prerogative of the club if they charge as they wish, but LSAG recognizes it as ONE piece. 

For LSAG's Database:
-It MUST be listed as ONE piece, & ONE piece ONLY in the database. 
-It MUST have diptych or triptych after the title identifying it as such.

Example:  Floral Seasons (diptych) or Japanese Fan (triptych)
