General (truncated)
- Entry is open to all textile artists. International entries are welcome. Non-Australian artists must provide completed paperwork and payment (if any) to satisfy customs requirements.
- Artworks must address the title theme – a matter of time.
- Entries may be any kind of stitched textile or fibre art but each work must be sturdy enough to travel without special requirements. Works that have significant 3 dimensional features, require special hanging apparatus, or are delicate or require special handling will not be selected.
- Entries must measure 100x40cm finished (LxW, vertical banner format). A 1cm variation in any direction is permitted.
- Entries must include both a hanging sleeve and velcro strips in accordance with the curator’s directions.
- Only one textile work will be selected per entrant, although artists may enter more than one work.
- The work must be an original design in which no other person holds copyright. All work must be the result of independent effort and must not be the product of an instructional setting in which another artist has provided guidance or assistance.
- Artwork that differs from the submitted images will not be accepted.
