Conditions for Entry

The applicant’s work needs to be figurative
The work may be painting, drawing, printmaking or sculpture
Six images of recent work to be provided together with a completed application form, see below
An administration fee of £10 is required with the application

Guidelines

Semi-finalists are responsible for the delivery and collection of their own works
It is suggested that large scale works be accompanied by smaller works as, if the artist is chosen as a semi-finalist or finalist, exhibition space will be limited and this may influence selection
It may be helpful for the 3 finalists to bring with them for interview any sketchbooks or journals which show their exploration of techniques or development of their ideas
