      1. Any unframed works submitted for consideration by the Selection Panel must be provided with adequate protective packaging and clear handling instructions for the selection process, exhibition and national tour.
      2. Any work presented unframed must be delivered in suitable packaging e.g. a poster tube with a removable cap or in a portfolio, portfolio sleeve, or a packing case (as appropriate).
   2. Framed Works:
      1. All projections (including mirror plates, d-rings and picture wire) MUST be removed from frames before submission in order to protect other works.
      2. Works that cannot be mirror plated must be accompanied by full installation instructions and, if selected, the artist may be required to provide suitable fixings.
      3. Frames MUST be durable for handling and hanging purposes throughout the selection process, exhibition and tour. Perspex frames should be submitted in a packing case for protection during transportation and storage.
      4. Please note that clip-framed glass or metal frames are ineligible, as they are dangerous for our handling team.

The utmost care will be taken of all work selected for the Working Drawing Award, however the organisers of the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize shall have no liability for any loss or damage caused to work during delivery to the exhibition.

All work selected for the Trinity Buoy Wharf Working Drawing Award will be insured on receipt in London. Selected works will be insured to the value as indicated by the entrant in either the Sale Price or Insurance Value section on the Work Submission Form. If no value is entered in either of these sections on the Work Submission Form then the value of the work will be deemed to be nil. In the unlikely event of any claim on insurance being made, independent and verifiable insurance valuations will need to be provided.

Applicants are required to provide reusable packing cases to protect fragile or delicate works during the selection process, exhibition and exhibition tour. The packaging for these works must be able to be resealed without the use of tape. Any rolled drawings must be packed in a cardboard tube with a removable/replaceable cap.

For the protection of delicate frame surfaces, please stretch film wrap around the frame.

The Project Manager of the Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize reserves the right to refuse delivery at any Collection Centre should the work be deemed too fragile for submission and/or handling, the work has inadequate packaging, or is too heavy for normal handling.

If particular handling or display instructions are required, please print these clearly and attach to the outside of packaged work, and also attach a copy of these to the Work Submission Form.

If a fragile or unframed work is selected for the Working Drawing Award display, the applicant may be required to provide additional packaging, framing or other means to enable the work to be stored, presented and transported safely throughout the exhibition and exhibition tour. The Project Manager, Parker Harris, will be able to advise entrants with drawing(s) selected for the Working Drawing Award on delivery and packing arrangements as needed.

All entrants will be informed by email of the Selection Panel decision by Monday 12 June 2023. The email will be from: tbwdp@parkerharris.co.uk. Subsequently, names and drawing titles of those selected for exhibition will appear in the ‘General Info’ section of this website at this time.

If no email notification has been received by Thursday 12 June 2023, or your name does not appear on the list of those with selected drawings on this website, your work has not been. If you do not receive an email or you are unable to view the accepted list online, please contact the Project Manager, Parker Harris: by email: tbwdp@parkerharris.co.uk

The decision of the Trinity Buoy Wharf Working Drawing Award 2023 Selection Panel is final and binding and no correspondence will be entered into.
