Many artists who have had their work exhibited have gained commissions as a result of the considerable interest in the Portrait Award and the resulting exhibition. BP Portrait Prize: The competition is open to all artists living anywhere in the world who are aged 18 and over on 1st January 2011. This is in recognition of the outstanding and innovative work currently being produced by artists of all ages working in portraiture. BP Young Artists Award: All entrants from the 18-30 age group will automatically be considered for both the BP Young Artist Award and the BP Portrait Award, but an individual cannot win both. Artists must be 30 years of age or under on 1 January 2011 to be eligible for the BP Young Artist Award. BP Travel Award: All 2011 exhibitors will be eligible to submit a proposal for the BP Travel Award. The aim of the Award is to provide the opportunity for an artist to experience working in a different environment, in Britain or abroad, on a project related to portraiture which will then be shown as part of the BP Portrait Award 2012 exhibition and tour in 2012-13.

The Rules
10.0 How do you earn the title of "artist"?
There is nothing more frustrating than to create a work for a competition and then to realise that it isn't eligible or you can't present it in the right way at the right time! The Rules - there are a lot of rules and they're written in small type on the website so do take the time to read them very carefully. (Remember also that using the Control and key can enlarge type on your screen). Note in particular that works can be disquali ied even if selected for exhibition if they have not adhered to the rules! The rules - who you are In brief are: the competition is open to all those aged over 18 on 1.1.11. each artist is limited one entry per artist. The work must have been completed after 1 January 2010. Those not eligible for entry are employees of the National Portrait Gallery, BP, and their agents, and previous irst prize-winners of the Portrait Award since 1980. The rules - nature of the work The work entered MUST be predominantly painted in oil, tempera or acrylic MUST be on a stretcher or board, preferably framed and unglazed. (No watercolours, works on paper or pastels will be considered - although I am ighting the battle for pastels to be admitted at some point!) SHOULD be a painting based on a sitting or study from life AND the human igure MUST predominate. The Minimum size: 25 x 20cm (10 x 8) unframed. Smaller works will not be considered. The rules - submission summary Entry forms and registration fees must be submitted to the NPG by 14th February 2011 All entrants will be noti ied if their work is selected (or not) for exhibition by 6th April 2010 There are lots of very detailed requirements as to submission and collection of the actual painting - I've summarised some below but there is more and my advice is to read it all very carefully! All artists will need to insure their works International artists should also pay particular attention to their inancial liabilities (eg import duties etc) and what they are required to do. The Gallery is not responsible for wrapping works or providing wrapping materials for any works being returned to artists located in the UK and charges a fee to international artists. All correspondence with artists will be via email! The artist is responsible for checking their email to see whether your artwork has been selected or rejected.

Ilaria said... Thank you Katherine, and best of luck to everyone who enters! Thursday, December 02, 2010
kagey7500 said... Dear Katherine I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for such an inspiring blog, and one that is actually very useful! I have entered the BP Portrait Award (the 1st time in 10 years) this year and I have to say that I have done so with help directly from yourself! I can also see why my entry failed to be selected in 2001. I ind the pictures you take showing the actual entries to be of the most help. I like to see the way the artists have framed their works and the scale of them. Although I visited the prize last year I forgot instantly a lot of the details that I tried to remember! Although I'm not overly con ident that my entry will be selected for the prize, as it is on the more painterly side, I do feel con ident that I have followed the rules correctly. Also the judges for this years award are: this year's judges are Iwona Blazwick (Director, Whitechapel Gallery), Paul Emsley (Artist), Jonathan Jones (Art Critic, Guardian), Sandy Nairne (Director, National Portrait Gallery), and Des Violaris (Director, UK Arts & Culture, BP). I got this information from the NPGs Facebook page and thought it might be of some 1. Sketching for Real - a class with assignments 2. Starting to Sketch with Coloured Pencils 3. Sketching Plein Air - tips and techniques 4. 10 tips for working in light and shade 5. How to sketch people 6. Sketching Toolkits and Materials Advice and Information 7.
