CONDITIONS OF ENTRY AND SALE OF ARTWORKS
PLEASE READ THESE OR YOUR WORK MAY BE DISQUALIFIED!
Entry form: must be completed and signed by the entrant, and received by Cairns Art Society by 5pm, Friday, 30 September 2011, together with entry fees, entry form and images of works for pre-selection.
Entry fees: Exhibitors may enter a maximum of two artworks. Entry fees for Cairns Art Society members are $30 per artwork (a diptych or triptych will be considered one work). Entry fees for non-members are $40 per artwork. Entry fees are non-refundable.
Eligibility: All work shall have been undertaken in the 12 months prior to entering the exhibition. It must be the original, unaided work of the entrant, not done under tuition at any class or summer/winter school (including ArtEscape), and must not have been awarded a prize in any other competition. Prints of original work will not be accepted.
Categories: 2D works (including digital art) may be entered in either the realistic or abstract category; 3D works are to be entered in the sculpture category. If no category is nominated, the Cairns Art Society will place the work in an appropriate category. All entries selected for exhibition are eligible for People’s Choice, Unpackers’ and Highly Commended awards.
Dimensions: Paintings/2D works should not exceed 1.25 metres on the longest side including the frame. Miniature paintings should not exceed 10 cm x 10 cm (without the frame). Sculptures/3D works: the base footprint should not exceed 60 cm at its widest point, or 1.5 metres in height. Overall dimensions and weight should not exceed the carrying capacity of two persons. Artists are responsible for transporting their work into and out of the gallery building. The artwork must be easy to move, and have a stable base. Work that requires special installation should include detailed instructions.
Photographs for pre-selection: Pre-selection will occur based on a high quality digital image of the completed, original artwork submitted by the artist with their entry form. The image should be a high-resolution JPG digital image, not larger than 1MB, submitted via email or disk. Please label your disk with name of artist and title of artwork; include a stamped, self-addressed envelope if you wish the disk returned. If an artwork selected for exhibiting is found to differ from the image submitted, that entry will be disqualified and the entry fee forfeited.
Pre-selection: A pre-selection committee of three independent judges selected by the Cairns Art Society Management Committee will view the digital images of all entries, and select a maximum of 100 works for final judging. These works will constitute the exhibition. Entrants will be advised by phone, mail or email if their works have been selected or not.
Presentation: All paintings must be suitably wired ready for hanging or display. Unframed canvases must be professionally presented. Wet paintings will NOT be accepted. All entries should be clearly labelled on the back with the entrant’s name and title of artwork (see label template below).
Judge’s decision: The decisions of the pre-selection committee and the judge will be final. Should any disputes arise for which no ruling has been laid down, the matter shall be determined by the President of the Cairns Art Society, whose decision will be final.

Removal: No entry can be removed before the exhibition closes at 5 pm, Sunday 4 December 2011.
Insurance: Entrants are responsible for their own insurance, should they require it.
