The Rules
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 disqualiied even if selected for exhibition if they have not
adhered to the rules!
The rules - who you are
In brief are:
the competition is o pen 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 e ntry are employees of the Nationa l 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 acrylicMUST be on a stretcher or board, preferably framed and unglazed. (No
watercolours, works on pap er 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 notiied 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.
Delivery Dates
Paintings need to be delivered to one of the following collection points on the speciic dates
listed below during the times speciied. Paintings delivered to the National Portrait Gallery
will NOT be accepted.
Note in particular the very important points in the detailed rules about packaging ie all hand
deliveries to collection points have to be unpackaged and packing materials will not be
retained by the Gallery.

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 conident that my entry will be selected for the prize, as it is on the
more painterly side, I do feel conident 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 Jo nes (Art Critic, Guardian), Sandy Nairne (Director, National Portrait
Gallery), and Des Violaris (Director, UK Arts & Culture, BP).
I got this i nformation from the NPGs Facebook page and thought it might be of some
