IMPORTANT CHANGES TO ENTRY CONDITIONS – Friday, October 24, 2008
TWO KEY POINTS
(1) After an extraordinary meeting of the Publishers Cup Inc Committee, due to interest from artists in New Zealand and Australia-wide, the Cricket Art Prize will have an image pre-selection process i.e. a CD or DVD containing high quality jpeg images of the artist’s entry must be delivered by post or courier together with a completed entry form.
This pre-selection process was adopted to save artists the trouble and expense of shipping their ‘physical-work’ long distances overseas or interstate for initial judging before their entry made it through as a finalist.
All artists entries accepted for hanging and the opening exhibition will be contacted via e-mail and text message and the finalists’ physical entry must be delivered by 6th Oct 2009 – see complete terms and conditions on the website http://www.publisherscup.org.au/entry/
(2) At the same meeting, it was collectively decided that the Cricket Art Prize will be ACQUISITIVE – that being the winning work will become the property of the Publishers’ Cup Inc or their nominated beneficiary and it is expected that all finalists work (the rest of the exhibition) including the “Highly Commended” and the “Peoples’ Choice” awards should be for sale.
