The template is actually provided to you as an image to draw on top of using a graphic design program of your choice, or to print it out and draw on it by hand and scan it in for submission. There are no built in designing/editing tools provided to take part in the contest.
so i guess i cant do it cause i dont have a printer and my paint app wont let me copy/paste things to it
sad
Instead of copy pasting, try right clicking the template and saving it to your Pictures. Then in your desired application, you can then go to open the file itself, rather than pasting it into an already open canvas. Just be sure to always save it as a new file, so you don't overrite your base template and have to go about downloading another copy.
