• Shows should be not longer than 4 minutes.
• Royalty Free or your own original music
• First "slide" should include the slideshow title and your name.
• After all of the image slides, add a slide that provides music attribution (song title, artist).
• The final slide should be a black slide. This will help with transitions from one slideshow to the next.
