Selection
The Selection Committee will select the works for the exhibition. The Selectors will consider all correctly completed submissions. The decision of the Selectors on all matters is final and no correspondence will be entered into. All work preselected on-line will be entered directly into the exhibition as there is no final selection.
Insurance
Artists are responsible for insuring their own work. All works accepted for exhibition will be displayed entirely at the artists' risk and SWAc and Kennaway House will not accept liability for loss or damage occurring during the exhibition, storage or transit.
Delivery and Collection
Artists are responsible for the delivery and collection of their work to Kennaway House. All packaging materials must be removed after delivery (no storage is available for this) and brought back at collection. If you are applying from overseas, please consider how you will get your work to and from the exhibition at the required times.
Work not collected at the stated times will be subject to a daily charge of £10 after the first day any work not uplifted after a week becomes the property of SWAc and may be disposed of as they seem fit including by way of sale. The administration of The Academy is not able to manage the return of artwork and it is the artists responsibility to collect during the specified period of time or to arrange and pay for a courier to collect on their behalf. The Academy will do its best to repack artwork for couriers but cannot guarantee this service or to be open during all courier operating hours. It is the artist’s responsibility to notify The Academy of collection arrangements.

Labels.
Artists should attach a label with string to the reverse of 2D work or front of 3D work with name, title and exhibition sale price. This label should be attached such that the string will hang over the front of 2D work but not hang below once the label and string is placed behind the work.
