General Information
The exhibition will be held online between 01 June and 30 June 2024.
Eligibility
Submissions of work are invited from visual botanical artists working in any two or three-dimensional artwork except for photography and giclee printing (or similar).
The work must have been completed within the past two years and must not have been shown previously at an SBA exhibition.
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 three. Please click on the link from our website or email and follow the instructions.
Please note refunds will not be given in the event of work not being selected.
Measurements
You must provide the framed measurements of the work in centimetres.
Communications
All communication will be by email or via the online login process. Applicants will be required to login to the OESS site to see if their work has been selected.
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.
We are happy for you to submit work not for sale.
Guidance by the Selection Committee
Please submit high-resolution scans or very good photographs to show your work at its best, with each image at least 1MB. 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.
Poor-quality images will not be accepted.
Sales
The SBA will not be charging a commission on sold work. The artist will be solely responsible for postage and packing, VAT and Customs documents and any insurance. Please click here for guidelines to assist you with this.
Each artist will be responsible for the sale of their own work. To ensure that buyers can make contact with you please check that the email address on your OESS profile is up-to-date.
Agreement
By submitting to the exhibition you are deemed to accept and agree to the following:
The decision of the Selectors on all matters is final and no correspondence will be entered into.
I understand that The Organisers reserve the right to make such changes to the exhibition arrangements and these Terms & Conditions as may be deemed necessary by circumstances.
I authorise the Organisers to process, store, and utilise the data in my submission and agree that, if selected for exhibition, images of my work can be freely used by the Society of Botanical Artists, for promotional and publicity purposes.
