Will all the entries be available to view online?

While I have limited artistic skill myself, I'm always amazed how some artists can capture the atmosphere and emotion of a cave so much more vividly than any photograph, so I'd be very keen to see what people have created.

Tempted to throw this one in from my son's year 1 school project last year. Got to be worth it for a chance at a free Scurion!
