2024/25 MONTHLY  COMPETITION RULES

TAKE NOTE OF A FEW CHANGES

This year, we will be having two winners each month, both winning £40 in gift vouchers from Picturesque!  Now you have an even bigger incentive to get involved!

We will also continue the themed competitions, and this time they are: 'Stories' which closes on Friday 7th March and 'Climate Change/ Weather' which closes on Friday 6th June, ready for the following Thursday meetings.

Another new rule: Please only submit one entry each month, and remember, an entry cannot be re-entered into another monthly competition until the following SAS year.

To enter, please submit work by emailing Sarah Miles at: smiles-art@outlook.com

You must remember to attach the image, tell Sarah the title, the medium, and the dimensions of the piece.  Please also advise Sarah whether it is for the Monthly Competition or the Themed Competition.

Sarah will load your submissions onto this website. By entering the competition, you are agreeing that the society may use your picture on this website, and the Society's Facebook and Instagram pages.

Three judges from the committee will select five art works each and the overall top 5 artworks will be available for members to vote on.  Members must attend the meeting in person to vote, and because of this, please only enter an artwork if you can bring it to the meeting. If you cannot bring the art work yourself, you must nominate a proxy to take it for you. If the art work is not at the meeting, you forfeit your chance of winning. Art works cannot be re-entered in the following month's competitions. The meeting that it needs to be brought to is listed in the information introducing the next competition. When voting is over, the winner will be shared on this page.

All pictures will be eligible for the President's Prize and are also additional entries into the 2025 Annual Summer Exhibition on the 'Wall of Fame'.

We want more members to enter the competition and for more members to vote, so please do come to meetings and get involved!
