WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR - a guide for non-members wishing to
submit work to the SWLA annual exhibition
The selection committee of the SWLA seeks to encourage all forms
of three and two dimensional artwork in any medium* (see below)
that is based on or
representing the world’s wildlife. The committee is particularly keen to
encourage all artists with fresh visions to submit work to the annual show.
The committee will consider work
-
that evokes the spirit of the
natural world
-
which reveals a personal
experience or true understanding of the natural world
-
that shows imagination, artistic
ability, originality and genuine creativity.
Work
which is inadmissible
-
that which has previously been
exhibited in London
-
botanical subjects, pets and
domestic animals
-
work
in metal frames, poorly framed or badly presented
-
photographic
reproductions/mechanical prints* (see below)
The selection committee's decision is final and no correspondence shall be
entered into.
If you have not already done so, visiting the annual show will
give you a clearer idea of the criteria the selection committee is seeking.
OVERSEAS
SUBMISSIONS
Non UK artists can now submit
good quality digital images of their work. The digital submissions will undergo
a preliminary selection and successful entries will then be invited to send the
artwork to the Mall Galleries in time for the main selection day in August. The
selection committee reserves the right to reject work that has been
preliminarily accepted if the digital images have given an inaccurate or
misleading portrayal of the work or if it is poorly presented (e.g. framing)
when viewed at selection. All shipment costs are the responsibility of the
artist. To register click

Submission fee is £10 per work up to a maximum of 6 works. Deadline for digital
submissions July 9th 2010. Once registered the digital images (jpegs only)
should be emailed to
lucyward@mallgalleries.com STRICTLY
FOR OVERSEAS SUBMISSIONS ONLY
