Entry Process :
There is a two-step entry process which enables us to waiver artists entry fees.
Step 1: On-line.
All entrants must complete the digital online form available on the Changing Threads page and upload a high-resolution digital image or images of their entry for administration purposes.
Please be aware that this image will be used for the finalist catalogue if selected.
Step 2: Hard copy
All entrants must create hard copies of their entry form and images and forward these to Arts Council Nelson by the closing date on the 6th April. Hard copies of work images will be utilised for the selection process; therefore, it is important that artists names are on the reverse of the image and work is shown in its best light.
