Submission Fee

**The early bird offer has now ended**
A non-refundable submission fee of £15 applies for the first artwork. For each additional piece under 50cm in width or height, a fee of £10 will be charged (up to a total of 3 artworks). If any artwork exceeds 50cm in height or width, a fee of £20 will apply for the second and third submissions.

For jewellery submissions, the fee is £15 for the first set of 3 pieces, and £10 for each additional set of 3 (max 9).

Example:
If you are submitting 3 paintings, one of which exceeds 50 cm in width or height, your submission fee is £15 + £20 + £20, which totals £55.
If you are submitting 3 paintings and none of them exceeds 50 cm in width or height, the fee is £15 + £10 + £10, which totals £35.
If you are submitting 9 pieces of jewellery, your submission fee is £35.

⚠️ This fee covers administrative costs and does not guarantee selection for the exhibition!

If your work is selected, the fee will be credited toward the exhibition fee for the artwork.
If your work is not selected, the submission fee remains non-refundable, and the artwork(s) will not be exhibited.

Applications must be submitted in full accordance with the guidelines. Incomplete or incorrectly submitted entries may be excluded from the selection process.
