the exhibition. Two slides are required for every entry:
a) close up detail
b) the total finished piece, as it will be presented (including any frame, support stand, or other means of presentation).
DO NOT submit slides containing glass or thick plastic mounts.
NB. Poor photography will inhibit the selectors' decision.
