EXHIBITION RULES 2012

RULES AND CONDITIONS OF ENTRY

Up to ten London Salon medals will be awarded and every accepted picture will receive a Salon vignette. All entrants will receive a colour catalogue and all accepted images are displayed on our Website. The accepted work will be framed and form 'The Exhibition' which will be displayed at several venues around the UK according to the exhibition programme. At smaller venues outside of London & Smethwick it may not be possible to exhibit all acceptances and a random selection will be made.

2. This exhibition is a PRINTS ONLY exhibition for which you can enter a total of four prints, either colour or monochrome or a mixture of the two. However we do also prefer a digital file to accompany your entry. The supply by you of a digital copy of your print ensures accuracy of reproduction on our website, in the catalogue and our CD slideshow; it also assists us greatly in speeding up the process of notification of results and publication of the exhibition. Entering online assists us to serve you better and is our preferred method of entry. For those entrants who are unable to enter online this Manual Form should be used and your entry accompanied by a CD containing your digital files. If you do not have digital files available whether entering online or manually then you should mark the entry form appropriately.

Named with the title of the printed image ALL IN CAPITALS. For all entries the title must be exactly the same as you intend to enter on your entry form. e.g. 1. THE LEANING TOWER. For online entries the form will be completed automatically using the name of the digital file that you submit which must be the same as the Number and Title on the rear of the printed image. We will not edit your digital image file names and so whatever is the name of your file will be the published text in the catalogue and anywhere else that the image is displayed or referred to.
