CONDITIONS OF ENTRY 

We encourage artists to reflect on the theme “unearthed”. What have you found, dug up, uncovered, revealed in these recent trying years? What has been brought to light, or made public? What feelings have been brought to the surface? This theme lends itself to historical, political and personal interpretation and much more.

​

This year we are accepting entries in any 2D or 3D still media including (but not limited to) watercolour, oil, pastel, acrylic, textiles, drawing, sculpture, pottery and photography.

Moving works such as video, animation or anything requiring power will not be accepted.

All entries will be judged according to how they address the year’s theme and prizes will be awarded for the following categories:
