You tin give the sack notice out who tin give the sack larn inwards what as well as how to larn inwards on their website.

As I usually do for all major fine art competitions, I've re-summarised the 'call for entries' data below and highlighted aspects which are less than clear amongst the data provided to date. All quotations are from the Jolomo Awards website

This yr for the offset time, yous tin give the sack also notice the awards on Facebook - The Jolomo Awards - although I don't think they've quite got the hang of images on facebook yet.  The solely ones I tin give the sack run into are blurry or likewise small.

  • reward painters living or working inwards Scotland as well as committed to paradigm the Scottish landscape

It's unclear who the judges are inwards 2013 - withal their give-and-take is final!

Context: This is the 4th fourth dimension these Awards receive got been offered - amongst competitions inwards 2007, 2009 as well as 2011. The winner of the Jolomo Award inwards 2011 was The Art of the Landscape spider web log Scottish Landscape Painting as well as a £25,000 prize

Who tin give the sack enter

The Jolomo Bank of Scotland Awards are opened upwards to EMERGING artists who are committed to paradigm the Scottish landscape. 

In my opinion, the entry criteria for the creative somebody are both to a greater extent than accessible as well as to a greater extent than "elitist" than most.  It seems to me they're making a genuine attempt to brand the Awards to a greater extent than inclusive amongst honor to those who receive got particular needs. At the same fourth dimension they appear to last endeavouring to eliminate entries from those who may aspire but don't yet receive got the appropriate score of science or practise (ie those who receive got neither the aspiration nor practise evolution to arrive every bit a full-time professional person artist).  Essentially I translate it every bit a contest for painters who already pigment at a professional person score inwards price of practise as well as who forthwith desire to pursue their paradigm on a full-time professional person basis.

It's exactly not a contest for hobby painters or those who receive got no longer term aspirations.

It doesn't tell "If you've made it already don't bother" withal I suspect if yous count yourself every bit a professional person painter already but receive got been emerging for several years yous mightiness exactly desire to banking concern fit out whether you're eligible!

Painters who tin give the sack larn inwards this competition:
  • currently alive as well as operate inwards Scotland 
  • are aged xviii or over on 1st Jan 2013.  Note that the Awards Judging Panel recognises that artists may “emerge” at whatsoever age!
  • have studied, or are studying, at a college of fine art or inwards an fine art dependent at a university, farther pedagogy college or independent fine art college, however - run into the caveat below
Should to a greater extent than than 5 years receive got passed since studying, or if the applicant has no formal qualification, the torso of operate submitted must last proposed as well as approved yesteryear a suitably qualified referee, e.g. fine art lecturer, teacher, gallery owner.
The Jolomo Bank of Scotland Awards welcomes entries from artists amongst particular needs.  (Note:  That's a offset inwards entry criteria - I don't always scream back seeing that earlier as well as kudos to these Awards for making that clear!)

Painters who cannot larn inwards this competition
The winners as well as runners-up of the 2007, 2009 & 2011 Awards may NOT larn inwards the 2013 Awards. 
In my watch that's a flake tough, on the runners up. Winners of the BP Portrait Prize receive got come upwards from runners upwards inwards previous years.

What yous tin give the sack enter

This is NOT exactly nearly ane painting

The portfolio of work that comprises the entry should comprise:
  • one central, titled paradigm which should last a painting 
  • between 5 as well as 10 supporting images that are dissimilar from the key image. Supporting images may last paintings, sketches or drawings. 
  • All images inwards the portfolio should reference the titles, metric sizes, medium used as well as the yr the operate was made. Don't forget to also add together inwards your advert on the file of the image!
  • The entrant’s total Curriculum Vitae (see my information website  How to write an Artist's Resume or CV)
Availability of work
Entries yesteryear shortlisted artists should last available for an exhibition at the fourth dimension of the presentation of The Jolomo Bank of Scotland Awards 2013 as well as for a farther exhibition later on inwards the year.
Natural Scotland

There's no proffer that a painter entering this contest should follow Natural Scotland's themes.  However if I was entering this contest I'd last taking a jolly skillful long difficult hold off at the 8 themes identified for Year of Natural Scotland and think nearly whatsoever potential relevance they mightiness have.

How to Enter
This is a contest which requires the artwork to last submitted via a CD-Rom.  If yous demand aid amongst this yous demand to start scream for for aid NOW.


Application form: This is the application shape (download pdf file)


Initial application: This is what yous demand to submit - by MAIL - to The Jolomo Foundation yesteryear the closing appointment of 14th Jan 2013:
  • Images of a torso of operate (as per 'what to enter') on a CD-ROM inwards high resolution jpeg format (that unremarkably agency 300dpi; Federal Reserve annotation that they do NOT desire tiff format) 
  • Completed application form 
  • Titles, metric sizes, medium used as well as yr completed for all images (Tip - When submitting operate as well as trying to brand certain that organisers empathize what is what, I usually do a tabular array inwards Word as well as and then insert a minor thumbnail paradigm of the operate as well as and then fill upwards inwards the balance of the data inwards dissimilar columns)
  • Curriculum Vitae 
  • Entry fee of £25.00
Note no entries cam or should last submitted via email.  (That's because high resolution images are enormous as well as would convey forever to submit as well as download!)

Shortlisted entrants: Shortlisting volition convey house inwards Apr 2012.  It's unclear how long artists receive got to submit their master copy work.  There is no deadline.  I suspect it mightiness last a example of plough upwards on the allotted day amongst your work.

In 2011, the judges shortlisted threescore artists as well as and then reduced this release downward to a finally shortlist of 7.  This procedure involves 2 aspects which many artists do non unremarkably submit to competitions:

  • an interview 
  • a disceptation of artistic practice.
Shortlisted artists volition also last advised of supporting operate required yesteryear the judges
Entrants shortlisted for The Jolomo Bank of Scotland Awards 2013 volition last notified yesteryear 1st Apr 2013. Thereafter, the shortlisted artists volition last interviewed yesteryear the Judging Panel at the same fourth dimension every bit submitting the originals of their entries.
It is planned that the interview procedure volition last completed yesteryear 30th Apr 2013.
Packaging: As per park all the costs associated amongst packaging as well as carry are downward to the artist.
The carry as well as packing of entries is the responsibleness of the entrant. Further, shortlisted entries are submitted at the artist’s ain risk. Neither The Jolomo Foundation nor whatsoever sponsor of The Jolomo Bank of Scotland Awards 2013 volition convey responsibleness for whatsoever loss or harm to the shortlisted entries.

HOWEVER It's unclear to me what the deadline is for the submission of master copy work as well as whether the operate needs to last submitted inwards packaging or unpacked.  Most competitions unremarkably become for the latter.  In which example the enquiry arises of who gets to hold off after the packing materials - as well as if it's the creative somebody as well as then that agency yous demand to submit inwards somebody or receive got a real reliable fine art courier who volition maintain as well as repack the operate inwards due cours

Note: The Jolomo Bank of Scotland Awards were founded yesteryear the renowned Scottish creative somebody John Lowrie Morrison - known every bit “Jolomo” - inwards 2006 to promote as well as encourage the paradigm of the Scottish landscape.  The Jolomo Bank of Scotland Awards are the biggest fine art awards inwards Scotland as well as the largest privately funded fine art awards inwards the UK. The Jolomo Foundation is a charitable scheme founded inwards 2005 to promote paradigm as well as the teaching of paradigm inwards Scotland
