Selection
The works for exhibition are selected by a committee formed of members of the Society.
The selection will be made entirely online and so the image of the work must be representative of the original work to ensure that a fair selection has been made.
The Society reserves the right to refuse any selected work that does not arrive on time, varies substantially from the image submitted or is poorly framed. If withdrawn, work will need to be collected from Mall Galleries by the artist at their expense.
The decision of the Selection Committee is final and we are unable to offer feedback.
The prize winning works are selected in time for the awards ceremony during the Private View, prior to the exhibition opening to the public.
Sales
All work must be for sale.
Once work has been submitted, any sale made by the gallery before or during the course of the exhibition up to and including the collection day shall take precedence and supersede one made privately. Any private sale made in this period will incur the normal commission.
There is a minimum price per work of £400.
Unless otherwise advised, the gallery will charge a commission on the total price paid for works, including commissioned works, before, during, or as a result of the exhibition.
The price submitted should be the selling price, which should include commission, and is the price at which the work will be sold.
The price of works must include commission of 45% +VAT. If an artist is registered for VAT, then the VAT due on the selling price of works should be included in the price submitted.
Mall Galleries reserves the right to query the price of works.
The price of works may only be changed by written agreement between the artist and Mall Galleries.
You will be notified by Mall Galleries if your work sells.
Artists who are not resident in the UK but are resident in the EU or elsewhere are welcome to submit work. If your work is selected for the exhibition, you have a responsibility to register and account for UK VAT with H.M. Revenue & Customs.
Artists without a UK residence, known as 'NETPs' (non-established taxable persons) can find further details on 'NETP' status and how to register for VAT at www.hmrc.gov.uk (HM Revenues & Customs Reference: Notice 700/1, Mar 2014) under the heading 'Should I be registered for VAT?'

Liability
The gallery is not responsible for any loss of, or any damage to, works entrusted to them. All goods are at the artist owner's risk absolutely and the gallery and/or their agents exclude all liability to the maximum extent permitted by law. The galleries are used for various purposes and so artists are advised to insure their works against all risks.

In the event of any dispute regarding loss or damage, the dispute shall be referred for final arbitration to an independent expert valuer to be chosen by agreement between the parties, provided that the arbitrator's award shall not exceed the gallery's maximum liability as above.
Artists shall indemnify and keep indemnified the gallery against any actions between the artist and any third party.

Contact Sharon at Art Moves of Chelsea, Chelsea Self Storage, Blantyre Street, London, SW10 0EQ, for details. Tel: 020 7352 7492.
All packaging materials must be removed after delivery as no gallery storage is available for this, and brought back at collection.
Work not collected at the stated times will be transported to Art Moves of Chelsea and subject to a weekly charge.

Selection
The works for exhibition are selected by a committee formed of members of the Society.
If selected works arrive damaged, with unacceptable framing, size discrepancies from the original submission, or not as shown online, these will be withdrawn and will need to be collected from Mall Galleries by the artist at their expense.
The decision of the Selection Committee is final and we are unable to offer feedback.
The prize winning works are selected in time for the awards ceremony during the Private View, prior to the exhibition opening to the public.
Sales
All work must be for sale.
Once work has been submitted, any sale made by the gallery before or during the course of the exhibition up to and including the collection day shall take precedence and supersede one made privately. Any private sale made in this period will incur the normal commission.
There is a minimum price per work of £300, except for prints – framed £180, unframed £120. (Buyers will not be charged for postage and packaging of unframed prints, so please ensure the price of unframed prints allows for this).
Unless otherwise advised, the gallery will charge a commission on the total price paid for works, including commissioned works, before, during, or as a result of the exhibition.
The price submitted should be the selling price, which should include commission, and is the price at which the work will be sold.
The price of works must include commission of 45% +VAT (please note that where foundry fees apply, foundry costs will be deducted before commission is calculated). If an artist is registered for VAT, then the VAT due on the selling price of works should be included in the price submitted.
Mall Galleries reserves the right to query the price of works.
The price of works may only be changed by written agreement between the artist and Mall Galleries.
You will be notified by Mall Galleries if your work sells.
Artists who are not resident in the UK but are resident in the EU or elsewhere are welcome to submit work. If your work is selected for the exhibition, you have a responsibility to register and account for UK VAT with H.M. Revenue & Customs.

Submissions of work are invited from visual artists working in any two or three-dimensional artwork except for photography and giclee printing (or similar). Work previously exhibited at the Mall Galleries is not permitted. Work exhibited in the recent SBA online exhibition is permitted.
All work must be original and not copied. However, work copied from a photograph will be allowed provided the photographer is credited and permission has been given by the photographer to use the image as reference.
Submission Procedure
Submission is by online entry only. The maximum number of entries per artist is six. Please click on the link from our website and follow the instructions. Please note refunds will not be given in the event of work not being selected.
Pricing and Commission
Work selected for exhibition must be for sale. There is a minimum sale price for work less than 40cm on the longest side of £395 and a minimum price of £495 for work over 40cm on the longest length.
Commission is payable to the Society as follows:
Artwork Size (including frame) | Commission Payable to SBA | |
---|---|---|
Members | Less than 75cm on longest side | 35% |
Works larger than 75cm on longest side | 40% | |
Non Members | Works less than 75cm on longest side | 45% |
Works larger than 75cm on longest side | 50% |
It will be assumed that the stated sale price includes the cost of any frame and the commission. Please allow for these points when pricing your work. Prices should include VAT if applicable. If you are VAT registered, please provide a VAT number in the box provided.
Once work has been submitted online to the SBA via the OESS entry system, any sale then made before or during the course of the exhibition shall take precedence and supersede one made privately. Any private sale will incur the normal commission.
Overseas artists, if your work is sold at the exhibition you have a responsibility to register and account for UK VAT with HMRC. See our website for more information.
Measurements
You must provide the framed measurements of the work in centimetres. This is for inclusion in the catalogue, as well as to aid in the selection process and for planning the hang.
Communications
All communication will be by email or via the online login process. Applicants will be required to login to see if their work has been preselected; if so they will be asked to download and print their application details to be delivered with the artwork. Failure to do so could result in work being withdrawn from the exhibition.
Selection
The Selection Committee will select the works for the exhibition. The Selectors will consider all correctly completed submissions. The decision of the Selectors on all matters is final and no correspondence will be entered into. Final inclusion in the exhibition is at the discretion of the exhibition organisers and our curators.
Image Quality and Framing
It is very difficult to assess work from poor photographs so please submit scans or very good photographs to show your work at its best. Good results can be obtained with tablets and mobile phones, but take care to ensure that there is sufficient light (especially when the background appears as grey on a photograph), that the image is in focus, there are no reflections through glass, or bad angles from work being propped up.
The Selection Committee encourages artists to choose simple plain mounts and wooden frames (which can accommodate mirror plate fixings) that will not detract from the work or interfere with adjacent works in the exhibition; poor presentation may prejudice acceptance. Work framed with clips is not admissible.
Acrylic ‘glass’ may be used for oversized work and for work submitted by overseas artists, as supplied by a framer, and it must be of good display quality and be free from scratches and be as scratch resistant as possible. Artglass or similar which minimises reflections is acceptable.
Please remove any fittings and rings from the back of your frames.
Insurance
Artists are responsible for insuring their own work. All works accepted for exhibition will be displayed entirely at the artists' risk and organisers and the gallery will not accept liability for loss or damage occurring during the exhibition.
Delivery and Collection
Artists are responsible for the delivery and collection of their work at the Gallery. All packaging materials must be removed after delivery (no gallery storage is available for this) and brought back at collection. If applying from overseas, please consider how you will deliver to and collect work from the exhibition venue at the required times. Work not collected at the stated times will be subject to a daily charge of £10.
Exhibition Catalogue
All exhibitors will have their painting/s displayed in the catalogue for the show. SBA members only will be entitled to a catalogue free of charge when visiting the show on production of a membership badge.
Agreement
By submitting to the exhibition you are deemed to accept and agree to the following :

Celebrating Britain’s Historic Vessels
NATIONAL HISTORIC SHIPS PAINTING COMPETITION 2024
Historic ships are to be found in ports and harbours around the UK. This new painting competition offers prizes for work depicting and celebrating ships and vessels on the National Historic Ships Register. There are some 2000 vessels on the Register, ranging from large ships to canal boats, in locations to be found all over the United Kingdom. You may view a selection of historic vessels by going to: https://www.nationalhistoricships.org.uk/page/afloat-or-ashore-painting-competition
The competition is for work recording your engagement as an artist with one of these historic vessels. You are encouraged to visit a site yourself in order to sketch, paint, photograph, talk to those at work, and so absorb the significance of the particular vessel. The judges will be looking for some indication that you have done this.
You may use any medium except digitally manipulated photographs (there is another award for photography, see NHS website). If submitting prints, these should be traditionally hand-worked, i.e. not digital (giclee) reproductions.
The size of work should not exceed 80 cm longest dimension, to include the frame if any.
There is an entry fee of £10 for each work submitted. This will be collected online when you make your entry.
By entering a work into this competition, you will be confirming that:
• it was produced in the last three years
• it is your original work
• it does not infringe the copyright or other rights of any third party
There will be a special prize for young artists in the age group 11 – 16. The entry fee for each work submitted will be £5. This will be collected online when you make your entry

If selected works arrive damaged, with unacceptable framing, size discrepancies from the original submission, or not as shown online, these will be withdrawn and work will need to be collected from Mall Galleries by the artist at their expense.
The decision of the Selection Committee is final and we are unable to offer feedback.
Prize winning works are selected in time for the awards ceremony during the Private View, prior to the exhibition opening to the public.
Sales
All work must be for sale, except portraits.
Once work has been submitted, any sale made by the gallery before or during the course of the exhibition up to and including the collection day shall take precedence and supersede one made privately. Any private sale made in this period will incur the normal commission.
There is a minimum price per work of £500.
Unless otherwise advised, the gallery will charge a commission on the total price paid for works, including commissioned works, before, during, or as a result of the exhibition.
The price submitted should be the selling price, which should include commission, and is the price at which the work will be sold.
The price of works must include commission of 45% +VAT. If an artist is registered for VAT, then the VAT due on the selling price of works should be included in the price submitted.
Mall Galleries reserves the right to query the price of works.
The price of works may only be changed by written agreement between the artist and Mall Galleries.
You will be notified by Mall Galleries if your work sells.
International Artists:
Artists who are not resident in the UK but are resident in the EU or elsewhere are welcome to submit work. If your work is selected for the exhibition, you have a responsibility to register and account for UK VAT with H.M. Revenue & Customs.
Artists without a UK residence, known as 'NETPs' (non-established taxable persons) can find further details on 'NETP' status and how to register for VAT at www.hmrc.gov.uk (HM Revenues & Customs Reference: Notice 700/1, Mar 2014) under the heading 'Should I be registered for VAT?'
Please note: the registration process can take up to 4 weeks. Please address any questions you may have to the VAT Helpline on tel. no. 0300 200 3700 or Outside UK: +44 2920 501 261.
Personal Data
The gallery will hold personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). However, the gallery may provide third parties with an artist's contact details in the course of administering exhibitions, commissions and prizes.
The gallery has the right to reproduce works in connection with the exhibition.
The copyright and all other intellectual property rights will remain with the artist. If any rights are owned by a third party, that third party will remain the owner.
By submitting your contact details, you agree to be contacted about similar activities, such as artist opportunities and open calls organised by Mall Galleries / Federation of British Artists.
Liability
The gallery is not responsible for any loss of, or any damage to, works entrusted to them. All goods are at the artist owner's risk absolutely and the gallery and/or their agents exclude all liability to the maximum extent permitted by law. The galleries are used for various purposes and so artists are advised to insure their works against all risks.
The gallery endeavours to take good care of works sent for exhibition, but in the event of a work sent being lost, destroyed or damaged, the gallery's liability (if any) shall not exceed the value of the work as stated at the time of submission (less 45% plus VAT) or any altered price subsequently.
In the event of any dispute regarding loss or damage, the dispute shall be referred for final arbitration to an independent expert valuer to be chosen by agreement between the parties, provided that the arbitrator's award shall not exceed the gallery's maximum liability as above.
Artists shall indemnify and keep indemnified the gallery against any actions between the artist and any third party.

Please note any works not adhering to the conditions set out in this document may, at the Discretion of the Council/Hanging Committee, be rejected.
If selected, works must be free of all hooks and clearly marked ‘This Way Up’. A label will be emailed to all selected artists, please attach this to the back of your work.

Hanging Fee
There is a £10 hanging fee for each work selected. Payment of hanging fees can be made by cash or card at the RSA on delivery of work or sent in an envelope with the art courier delivering your work. BACS transfer can also be made, via the RSW Exhibitions Administrator by emailing rswexhibitions@robbferguson.co.uk
Please note, if an artwork is not hung for any reason, any hanging fees that have been paid by an artist will be refunded. If necessary the RSW Exhibitions Administrator will arrange this.
Communications
All communication will be by email or via the online login process. Applicants will be required to login to see if they have been preselected. They will then need to print a label and a Data Protection Form which will be emailed to them. These should be delivered with the artwork if invited to physically submit the work. The decision of the Selectors on all matters is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
Insurance
Artists are responsible for insuring their own work. All works accepted for exhibition will be displayed entirely at the artists' risk and organisers and the RSW will not accept liability for loss or damage occurring during the exhibition.
Delivery and Collection
Artists are responsible for the delivery and collection of their work at the Gallery. All packaging materials must be removed after delivery (no gallery storage is available for this) and brought back at collection. If you are applying from overseas please consider how you will get your work to and from the exhibition at the required times.
No works can be removed until the Exhibition closes under any circumstances. All works must be uplifted on the dates stated. There is no storage of any kind at the RSA and the RSW will not be responsible for storage of any uncollected works. Work not collected at the stated times will be subject to a daily charge of £10 and will be disposed of after one week.
All works must be delivered to the South Entrance (facing National Galleries), Royal Scottish Academy Building, The Mound, Edinburgh. There is no vehicle access at the RSA. Artists should make every attempt to use carriers or to come on foot/by public transport. Group deliveries can be arranged in advance with the RSW Exhibitions Administrator. A registration number will be required and specific time for delivery arranged.
International Artists
The RSW welcomes submissions from international artists, however there are additional considerations to bear in mind if you choose to submit from abroad. Please read the following information carefully before making your submission.
VAT REGISTRATION
All non-UK residents are classified as NETPs (Non-Established Taxable Persons) and must register with HMRC (HM Revenue + Customs) for a UK VAT number before they can before they can sell work in the UK. Registering for a UK VAT number can be done online at www.gov.uk/vat-registration/how-to-register.
If your work is pre-selected then please complete the registration as soon as possible. We must receive your VAT number, or a copy of your email from HMRC indicating the process is underway, by the time of the preselection hand in.
As stated in our Regulations, all work should be for sale, therefore, failure to supply a valid UK VAT number will lead to the rejection of work. Please note, it can take up to four weeks for the application to be processed so it is important to register as soon as you are pre-selected.
Further information on UK VAT registration and non-established taxable persons (NETPs) can be found at www.gov.uk/government/collections/vat-notices-numerical-order under the section ‘VAT Notice 700/1: should I be registered for VAT?’
If you have any questions about VAT please contact HMRC’s helpline on 0300 200 3700 (UK) or +44 2920 501 261 (abroad). The RSW is unable to provide any assistance with this process, all questions should be directed to HMRC.
DELIVERY & COLLECTION
If you are unable to hand in your pre-selected work(s) in person then you will need to send/ship them to a local courier who can deliver/collect your work(s) on the official collection days and adhere to all the specifications listed in our Regulations. It is the exhibitor’s responsibility to source a courier and make arrangements directly with them.
Below is a list of couriers who have delivered to us in the past. Please note – the RSW is not affiliated with any couriers and it is at their discretion if they can assist.
UK/EUROPE
It is the artist’s responsibility to organise and pay for all shipping, declare the artwork on your international postage customs declaration form and pay any customs costs your country may impose; this also applies to the return shipping of your work.
The RSW will not be responsible for any damage sustained to work while in transit and we recommend you take out appropriate insurance.
PACKAGING OF WORKS
The Regulations state that all packaging should be removed from works before handed in on submission days.
We appreciate this may be difficult to arrange if delivering from abroad. Where possible a courier should be found who can do this on your behalf. If that is not possible please email the RSW Exhibitions Administrator (rswexhibitions@robbferguson.co.uk) in advance of your delivery and we will advise if we can do this for you.
