Entries to be submitted by close of business, Friday 19 February 2016.
Works must have been produced after February 2014.
There are no entry fees for the Margaret Flockton Award and Exhibition.
Each artist may submit up to two original illustrations. Reproductions or copies will not be accepted. Only original black and white (for example pen and ink, graphite or scraperboard) illustrations, either published or unpublished, will be considered.
Only full plate illustrations will be accepted (inclusive of habit study and diagnostic features of the species). Inclusion of scale bars, whilst not compulsory, is highly recommended.
The illustration should include a small, neatly written legend, with plant name and all lettered components, at the bottom of the artwork, outside of the frameable image area (i.e. At least 3 cm below your illustration.)
Entries should be on paper, illustration board, scraperboard or drafting film with an image size no larger than A3 size (295 mm x 420 mm). Larger works will not be accepted. Image size MUST allow a minimum 3 cm border for mounting and framing.
Entries should be submitted unframed. Illustrations selected for exhibition will be mounted and framed in our standard exhibition frames.
First and Second prize-winners will be paid by electronic transfer in Australian dollars soon after the awards are announced. Artists within Australia will receive payment for artworks sold (minus commission and any taxes if applicable) by electronic transfer soon after the exhibition closes. Overseas artists will be paid by International Money Transfer in Australian dollars and will need to provide their bank account information upon request. Overseas artists should note their banking institutions may charge fees for international transactions.
