Artists aged 8 - 16 (including anyone turning 8 years by the end of this academic year) are eligible to apply. The artist must be a resident or a student in Rugby Borough.

Application is in the form of digital images.

One image per artist can be submitted.

Entries will be accepted in the form of painting, sculpture, drawings, original prints, original digital art, photographs, film and craftwork. We will not accept any artwork that has been created by AI. Reproductions of drawings and paintings are ineligible for entry. e.g. a printed copy.

Works must not be larger than A2 (420 x 594 mm, 16.5 x 23.4 inches) or smaller than A5 (148.5 x 210 mm, 5.8 x 8.3 inches) including frame (if relevant)

Art works for exhibition will be selected by a panel of judges from the submitted digital images.

Selected artworks must be delivered to the Art Gallery & Museum.

Works selected for exhibition in the Balcony Gallery must:

• be the same as the digital image submitted.

• be 'complete' - ie. no wet paint, glue etc.

• be framed if on paper, or have a suitable hanging/display method if textile or sculpture.

• One stick-on label must be put on the reverse of each work giving artist’s name and title of work.

Rugby Art Gallery and Museum will handle all artwork with care. If you feel your work is of a particularly delicate nature, please point this out to the staff when submitting your artwork.
