It does not matter which direction you design your skateboard.

How to prepare artwork to hang:

• Make sure that there is a 3x5 index card on the back of your artwork that lists your Name, Phone Number, Title of your work and asking price or “NFS” if not for sale.

• Your artwork must have a hanging mechanism to be accepted. You can use a thick fishing line to loop through the skateboard holes, OR drill short screws into the back of your skateboard (not the existing holes - they will fall out) and then wrap picture frame wire around the screws to create your hanging mechanism.
