Brand New!! Ing Discerning Core 2014 - Telephone Telephone For Entries

The telephone phone has gone out for the 2014 ING Discerning Eye fine art competition. 

Unfortunately it came out inward July circular most the fourth dimension I was rushed off to infirmary followed past times enforced suspension together with the finally stages of my involvement alongside finally proofs of my book. So at that topographic point hasn't been a post on this weblog until now!  This post seeks to remedy this - specially given the fact the deadline for entries fast approaches - sixth September 2014

ING Discerning Eye 2014 - selection, exhibition together with prizes


The offset affair to say is that this contest by together with large enjoys a practiced reputation. It's getting amend at providing relevant data for artists.

The percent of the plant exhibited which came from the opened upwardly entry has been opaque inward the past times simply this seems to stimulate got been addressed this year. I've been campaigning for around fourth dimension for the percent of plant which come upwardly from the opened upwardly exhibition to hold upwardly made to a greater extent than explicit. This twelvemonth the website states
Last twelvemonth most 40% of the nearly 500 plant exhibited were from the opened upwardly submission.
This equates to c. 200 plant from the opened upwardly entry.

The exhibition is odd due to the nature of the competition.
  • The focus is on pocket-sized works
  • There are six selectors, each of which curates a pocket-sized exhibition of a collection of travel they like. This so creates a large exhibition made upwardly of vi smaller exhibitions which reverberate the interests together with tastes of the private selectors.

Sometimes the exhibition is rattling eclectic. Sometimes it is actually interesting - it all depends on who the selectors are, what their tastes are together with how enthusiastic they are most putting on an exhibition.

How to larn into the ING Discerning Eye 2014


Who tin enter?<



  • artists who were born or are currently resident inward the UK

What form of artwork is eligible?


  • all artwork must hold upwardly an master copy creation past times the artist. This commonly way the creative mortal must hold upwardly able to assert copyright (i.e. the travel is non derivative) together with the travel has non been copied from around other artwork or photograph.
  • Painting, prints, drawing, photography together with sculpture are all accepted.

  • All plant must hold upwardly for sale. This is essential / non optional. Commission is charged at 40% + VAT. Price entered on the entry cast is the catalogue selling toll from which committee together with VAT payable is deducted.

You demand to banker's bill that the entry fee is £10 per work.  That's non an unreasonable sum. Some 300 artworks generating £3,000 volition non hold upwardly hung inward the exhibition.  My personal thought is that whatever opened upwardly contest should stimulate got a much higher percent of artworks from the opened upwardly entry every bit otherwise it looks every bit if the unsuccessful entries are subsidising the exhibition of plant past times selected artists. This to my take away heed could ambit the impression of patronage of to a greater extent than successful artists at the expense of less successful artists.  Given the exhibition is existence sponsored past times a banking concern this looks odd to say the rattling least.
