Maximum Artwork Entries: 6
First or Single Entry Price: £14.00
Additional Entries: £14.00 per artwork up to 6 artworks.
Eligibility
Any artist aged 18 or over may enter, from anywhere in the world.
Artists may enter a maximum of six works each.
Work must have been completed within the last three years and not previously exhibited at Mall Galleries.
Works should be no larger than 2.4m along the longest dimension.
All works must be an original creation by the artist.
Subject matter: Work should be based on representing the world's wildlife. Wildlife includes any non-domestic animal such as birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, crustaceans and insects. Work will not be accepted if it is of botanical subjects, pets and domestic animals, or decorative wares (such as vessels or tiles).
Works depicting wildlife divorced from its environment or without place, setting or context are rejected in many cases. Biological or scientific illustrations are in most cases not permissible.
The Society receives many submissions that are obviously direct copies from photographs. Whilst some of the member artists use photographs for reference, the majority of artists create their work in response to their own experience of wildlife and spend many hours observing and sketching in the field. This knowledge of the subject is evident in the resulting work. Artists thinking of submitting should consider choosing a subject to which they can have access.
Acceptable media: Work may be in any medium (except photography) including drawing, painting, sculpture and original prints (if prints, please detail the edition total and availability).
The SWLA is keen to embrace new and innovative mediums and will accept computer-generated images as 'original prints'. However, a digital print is only considered an original print if it was created by the artist to be realised specifically as a print. Reproductions of paintings or photographs will not be accepted.
Submission Fee
There is a non-refundable submission fee of £20 per work, or £14 per work for artists aged 35 or under.
The submission fee includes free admission to the exhibition (normally £5).
Presentation
Frames or stretchers should be sufficiently substantial to withstand mirror plating with 12mm (size 6) screws.
Artists are advised to use plain, simple framing in a light or medium colour.
Metal frames, unprotected glass edges and clip frames are inadmissible.
Please remove all fittings and fixings from the back of frames, for example D-rings and picture wire. This is to prevent damage to other works, and because we will mirror-plate works for hanging.
Delivery & Collection
Works should be delivered and collected on the specified receiving and collection days via the gallery's rear entrance at Mall Galleries, 17 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5BD.
If you are unable to deliver or collect your work, you may send another person on your behalf – this may include an art courier (see below).
Artists are responsible for the costs of delivery and collection.
Delivery:
Works should be delivered unwrapped with the relevant form and labels, which are downloadable upon notification of selection.
All packaging must be taken away at the point of delivery.
Collection:
We are unable to wrap works or provide wrapping for works being returned.
Any uncollected works will be removed from the gallery after the collection day and stored by an independent courier company at the artist's expense.
If works are not collected within 12 months of the collection day, the gallery will be entitled to destroy, sell, or otherwise dispose of the works without consent, prior notification, or compensation to the artist.

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 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 £200, except for prints – framed £120, unframed £95. (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.
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?'

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.

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
Prizes
Baltic Exchange is proud to award the first prize of £1,000 for the best painting depicting the nation’s historic vessels.

Two handy front pockets keep tools close to hand. And they are brilliant for artists too!
