What to submit
All artworks must be created using the theme liberation.
The media you use may include any of the following: oil, tempera, acrylic, ink, vinyl, watercolour or other dry media and can be on any form of support (paper, canvas, wood, plastic, etc).
Monoprints and drawings, sculpture, mixed media constructions, relief and other figurative installations will be accepted. Photographs are also acceptable, but you must have a signed model release for any living subject whose image you portray. Video film is not accepted.
You may submit an unlimited number of works provided you have created them yourself on or after 1 April 2009. A registration fee of £12.50 is payable for each work submitted.
Works that have already been exhibited elsewhere will still be eligible for this competition, although they must not have been submitted for any other prize or competition in the UK or elsewhere. At the time of registration, you must not have an exclusive sales agency agreement with any person.
All artworks submitted must be for sale. If your artwork(s) is selected for the exhibition and then sold, Sue Ryder Care will take a commission of 35% (+VAT).
Additionally, this year we will be operating regional collection points for artworks through to the second selection stage. Details of which will be available soon.
