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.
