YOUR
ARTWORK
-
One artwork only per entrant.
-
You may use any art materials you like, but your artwork must be two-dimensional and on good-quality paper so it can be framed for display if you are a finalist.
-
It can be vertical or horizontal.
-
Must be no smaller than A4 (210 x 297 mm), no bigger than A3 (420 x 297 mm) and no thicker than 1cm.
-
It should be clearly labelled on the back with which way it should be displayed, along with your name, age, address and contact details. Make sure this doesn't show through to the front.
YOUR
SUBJECT
We prefer that the portrait is ‘painted from life’ and that your subject has a sitting for their portrait, like with the Archibald Prize. You may also create the portrait from memory or take your own photograph to use for reference.
