​

DELIVERY OF ARTWORK

For in-person, postal and courier deliveries, artwork must be submitted on February 14 to 28, between 10 am and 4 pm. Artwork will not be accepted via in-person drop-off before February 14 due to storage limitations. Artwork not delivered within these dates will not be included in the exhibition, and fees will not be refunded. Delivery expenses are the responsibility of the artist. All artwork must be ready for hanging upon arrival. Artists bringing works in person should bring appropriate packaging for transport during collection.

​

ARTWORK SPECIFICATIONS

All artworks to be eligible must measure 153cm square or less, including frames and display apparatus. Artworks must be two-dimensional, but three-dimensional works can be included if they are wall-hang-able, such as weaving or flat ceramics. Framed artworks must be wired or have d-rings attached for hanging. If magnets are required, they must be supplied by the artist. Artworks lacking a sufficient hanging mechanism on the back will not be hung, and the entry fee will not be refunded.

Canvas works will be hung using their stretcher frames where appropriate.

The artist's name and the title of the work must be written or labeled on the back of the artwork for clear identification.

Unlabeled works may not be exhibited, and the exhibition fee will not be refunded. Artists can enter multiple works, such as diptychs or triptychs, as a single work if approved by Prize staff, but they must adhere to specific requirements.

​

COLLECTION AND RETURN OF WORKS

Unsold works must be collected by the artist or a nominated proxy from SOHO Studio between 10 am and 4 pm on March 20, 2024. A $100 late fee will be charged for work not collected by this date. Works not collected by April 20, 2024, will be disposed of.

Artists can nominate a proxy for collection, and their names must be emailed to the Prize team, with matching ID required for collection. Interstate and remote artists can have unsold works posted back via courier, but this is the only option for postal returns. Artists should not send stamps or return packaging with their artwork.

Artists must contact the gallery before the exhibition's closing date to request this service and confirm their address by March 14, 2024. Only clearly labeled packaging, suitable for reuse, will be stored for courier returns. Courier returns must be requested by March 14, 2024. SOHO Studio will obtain a courier quote for returning the artworks at the end of the exhibition, with return costs at the artist's expense. Artists who wish to make their own in-person or proxy collection arrangements must inform the gallery before the exhibition ends. Courier returns may take up to 30 days due to the volume of works. Artists must notify SOHO Studio of their courier return details by March 14, 2024; entering their address on the application form does not count as requesting courier return.

​

SALE OF ARTWORKS

A 30% commission on artwork sales applies, including GST where applicable. In the event of a sale, the bank details provided on the entry form will be used for payment, so artists should ensure their bank details are correct at the time of entry. Artist settlements will be prepared and finalised within 30 days after the exhibition ends.

​

INSURANCE

While the gallery takes the utmost care of artwork, it does not assume responsibility for theft, loss, or damage. Artists are advised to consider purchasing their own insurance.
