Guidelines

Judging, Guidelines and Rules

A panel of judges will use the following criteria:

We’d like to see drawings that have been made within the last 6 months.

Do not mount or frame it. We will present it carefully on display boards for the exhibition.

It must be the original drawing – no photos or copies are permitted.

We’d like to see a full range of sizes from A5 to A1.

Most materials can be used - pencils, charcoal, pastels, pens, ink, chalk, digital drawing, wire.

Unusual tools also make interesting drawings e.g. your finger, string or a stick.

Drawings can describe objects, places and people with the simplest of lines.

Complex drawings combine line, texture and tone to render three-dimensional forms in sophisticated ways.

Combinations of media may be used to represent a personal experience like dancing or joy.

Drawings are made through a physical process; translating one’s observations and thoughts through the hands onto paper or another surface.
