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

Unfortunately it came out inwards July circular close the fourth dimension I was rushed off to infirmary followed past times enforced interruption as well as the in conclusion stages of my involvement amongst terminal 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 as well as prizes


The starting fourth dimension affair to say is that this contest to a greater extent than frequently than non enjoys a skilful reputation. It's getting improve at providing relevant data for artists.

The percent of the industrial plant exhibited which came from the opened upwards entry has been opaque inwards the past times merely this seems to get got been addressed this year. I've been campaigning for approximately fourth dimension for the percent of industrial plant which come upwards from the opened upwards exhibition to last made to a greater extent than explicit. This twelvemonth the website states
Last twelvemonth close 40% of the nearly 500 industrial plant exhibited were from the opened upwards submission.
This equates to c. 200 industrial plant from the opened upwards entry.

The exhibition is odd due to the nature of the competition.
  • The focus is on pocket-size works
  • There are six selectors, each of which curates a pocket-size exhibition of a collection of operate they like. This as well as so creates a large exhibition made upwards of 6 smaller exhibitions which reverberate the interests as well as tastes of the private selectors.

Sometimes the exhibition is real eclectic. Sometimes it is actually interesting - it all depends on who the selectors are, what their tastes are as well as how enthusiastic they are close putting on an exhibition.

How to move inwards the ING Discerning Eye 2014


Who tin terminate enter?<



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

What sort of artwork is eligible?


  • all artwork must last an master copy creation past times the artist. This commonly way the creative somebody must last able to assert copyright (i.e. the operate is non derivative) as well as the operate has non been copied from approximately other artwork or photograph.
  • Painting, prints, drawing, photography as well as sculpture are all accepted.
  • Maximum size limit: twenty inches / fifty cms INCLUDING THE FRAME. Works exceeding these dimension inwards whatever direction volition last rejected.
Maximum size of work2D – 20” x 20” (50 x fifty cm) including frame3D – 20” x 20” x 20” (50 x fifty x fifty cm) including base/stand
  • Up to 6 industrial plant tin terminate last submitted for competition.
  • All industrial plant must last for sale. This is essential / non optional. Commission is charged at 40% + VAT. Price entered on the entry cast is the catalogue selling cost from which committee as well as VAT payable is deducted.

You demand to Federal Reserve annotation that the entry fee is £10 per work.  That's non an unreasonable sum. Some 300 artworks generating £3,000 volition non last hung inwards the exhibition.  My personal stance is that whatever opened upwards contest should get got a much higher percent of artworks from the opened upwards entry equally otherwise it looks equally if the unsuccessful entries are subsidising the exhibition of industrial plant past times selected artists. This to my hear could compass the impression of patronage of to a greater extent than successful artists at the expense of less successful artists.  Given the exhibition is beingness sponsored past times a depository fiscal establishment this looks odd to say the real least.
