Do you have to be an actual student competing or can you just go to view the art?

How can a student submit work to this competition? Do we need to be out of Texas or other states such as Illinois apply?

Answer to the first question: Students attending the Conference will see all the work accepted into the show. Buy Conference tickets here: http://dsvc.myshopify.com/collections/types?q=Student+Show

Sorry if this is a trivial question, but do we need a Student ID or would a driver license suffice?

Any major form of ID will be fine.

To answer a previous question: to view the show, you must be attending the conference. Professionals are welcome to come, but must pay the day pass rate of $100 at the door.
