RULES AND SUBMISSION DETAILS - please read before entering the competition. This is an open competition for entrants aged 13 years and above. Each entrant is invited to submit up to 2 postcard size, original artworks; orientated in landscape or portrait. Work can be in any media, providing that the postcard does not exceed 4” x 6” [105mm x 148mm] (A6) in dimension and does not exceed 4mm in depth. This is essential for display purposes. A judge’s panel will select one winner in early August and the second winner will be a late award by way of public vote. All entries will be available to view from 14th-19th August at St John’s Church, Northgate St, Gloucester, with the judge’s top 100 on prominent display. Prizes for each winner will consist of £100 and £50 for each runner-up and will be awarded on Saturday 18th August from 11am. The winning works will be displayed on the Art Tournament website and the winners invited to receive their awards in person where possible.
