This is a selected exhibition with the theme Hawke’s Bay CAPTURED in which there will be seven (7) named categories:
- Land, Movement, Open, People, Structures, Things That Grow and Water.
- As the artist, you select in which of the named categories to enter each of your paintings. There are also two additional categories this year: Sculpture and Schools .
- The winner of each category will receive a sponsor’s prize of $250.
- If, in the selector’s opinion, no suitable work is available within a category, no prize will be presented for that category.
- The selector’s decision is final.
- Additional prizes will be awarded to ‘Best in Exhibition’ and ‘People’s Choice Award’.
- A further ‘Mystery’ prize from the sponsor J W Picture Framing & Art Gallery is selected by them and their decision is final.
The Following Conditions Apply:
- Every contributing artist must be a member of an eligible art group or club within the Hawke’s Bay region (Wairoa through to Dannevirke and all points in between).
- All works must be original: i.e. not completed under supervision* nor previously exhibited (*excludes the Schools category which is done under the supervision of their art tutors).
- Entries are limited to 3 entries per artist including sculptures: i.e. if a sculpture is entered the artist may also submit 2 further paintings.
- All work must be for sale at the exhibition and thereafter on
line. This does not exclude private sales. - The entry fee is $10 per work submitted and is non-
refundable (*excludes the Schools category. - 20% commission will be charged on all exhibition sales and 25% commission for on-line sales. If sold by ‘offer’ at the end of the exhibition the commission still applies. Please consider this when determining your selling price(s).
- All work must have a Hawke’s Bay component where applicable: e.g. landscapes, events, known landmarks etc.
- All paintings must be suitably framed according to medium and be ready to hang. Unsuitable framing may be rejected at selection time.
Special Notice:
- An entry comprising of two or more ‘canvases’** must be rigidly joined together so that it can be hung from a single hanging point. A triptych entered in this form will count as one entry, allowing the artist to enter two further paintings.
- A triptych entered as un-
joined pieces uses the full quota allowed. - ** ‘Canvas’ includes any and all materials used as a support.
- The method of joining is left to your discretion but strips of white painted MDF would be a simple method.
- Each work must have a swing ticket showing: artist’s name, club name, title of work, category, medium, selling price, and for online shipping information, the size (width x height to nearest centimetre).
