ENTRY FORM

Submission Guidelines and Rules

Please read the follow terms and conditions and indicate your agreement before submitting your entry


Entrant Qualifications

• The competition is open to Canadian artists of professional standing aged 18 or older. For the purposes of this competition, “Canadian” shall, in every instance, be interpreted to mean a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (landed immigrant) of Canada.
• Entrants should have completed basic training at an art school or equivalent (e.g. experience working in a studio and/or with peers in an exhibition context).
• Entrants should have an exhibition record demonstrating peer recognition.
• Directors of the Vancouver Drawing Festival Society and members of the Jury are not eligible.
  
  

• There is no limitation on style and technique. However, the exhibition space is a public gallery, with the result that safety and health restrictions must be taken into consideration. Work of a very fragile nature will not be considered. As the walls are temporary, height and weight restrictions may apply.
• Dimensions of each artwork must not exceed 36 inches by 56 inches.
• All works submitted for consideration must be available for up to two months including the exhibition period.
• Entrants may submit up to three images for consideration. (Only one image per finalist will be selected.)
• Drawings must be finished at the time that the image is taken and submitted to the competition. Works that have been subsequently changed will not be accepted into the final exhibition.
• Digital resolution of submitted images should not exceed 72 dpi in a jpeg or gif format, at a size no larger than 6 x 6 inches. File sizes should not exceed 500KB. File names should be the same as the title.
  
  

• Artists whose work has been selected for inclusion in the exhibition should be prepared to provide a high-resolution quality digital image of the selected artwork at a file size of 300 dpi.
• Drawings selected for inclusion in the exhibition must be delivered to the Vancouver exhibition office by June 30. (Address will be provided upon notification of selection.) All shipping charges relating to delivery and return of the drawings are the responsibility of the artists.  Return shipping must be prepaid unless the drawing is to be picked up in person.
• The selected artwork must be appropriately packaged for transport. We suggest shipping the drawings in a double strength cardboard tube. Shipping materials will be re-used for return shipment. If packing materials are not useable for return shipping, the artist will be charged for the materials required.
• The exhibition organizers will take all due care with the drawings received but will not be responsible for any loss or damage to artworks whatsoever, however caused. Entrants are responsible for maintaining their own insurance coverage.
• Entrants shall allow the exhibition organizers to photograph the works and to reproduce them by print or electronic means for the purposes of documentation and advertising the competition, including subsequent catalogues, brochures and posters.
• Entrants authorize the exhibition organizers to frame their drawings for exhibition purposes using approved archival methods and materials.
  

Please note that entrants are required to pay the submission fee of $35 using PayPal or by sending a cheque to the Drawn office. Entries that are not accompanied by payment will not be considered for the exhibition. Entrants may not submit more than once.

Drawn cannot be held responsible for any difficulties of a technical nature that may prevent entrants from successfully completing their online submission.
