Contest Guidelines for the

2022 Bicol EMAD Contest

E-Modulo Art Design (EMAD) is an art design in which a mathematical concept (number
pattern from modular arithmetic) was applied to computer software to form modulo art. The
computer is intervened to improve the graphical output as to the quality, efficiency, and convenience
of the users. Since Mathematics is basically a study of patterns, it is quite easy to make use of its
concepts to form designs and artistic creations using a computer. For the second time, EMAD will be
