Questions to answer first

  • Does your work clearly fit the category?
  • Are you eligible by age, location, residency, career stage or membership?
  • Can you meet the entry, delivery and collection dates?
  • Can you afford the entry fee, framing, photography, freight and return costs?
  • Do the sale, commission or acquisitive terms suit you?
  • Will finalist exhibition exposure be worth the effort?

What to prepare

  • Artwork title, year, medium and dimensions.
  • Clear images or physical delivery plan, depending on entry method.
  • Artist bio, statement and contact details.
  • Proof of eligibility if required.
  • Calendar reminders for entry, delivery, finalist notification and collection.
  • A copy of the official terms saved with your records.

Why this extra detail matters

Many artists lose time on prizes that are not a good fit. Before entering, compare the prize requirements with your actual work, budget and timeline. A smaller local prize that fits your work may be more useful than a famous prize entered in a rush.
