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

Arthur Beale Open Neck Sailor’s Smock These sailcloth smocks have been designed to be highly practical pieces of work wear. The canvas cuts out cold wind while sailing.

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

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.

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?'
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.
