- Draw an alien. Make it realistic. Realistic means the way you really think it looks.

- Every drawing is shown whole. Nothing is changed.
- Every alien is credited: first name, initial, age, place, year.
- Every alien has its own number, for good.
- No alien is graded. None is the winner.
- The drawings are never sold. The Collection can't be bought.
- One book a year, for 100 years. This is Year 1 of 100.
