    Hello, this is the first competition that I have entered so
    please excuse me for asking what is probably a silly
    question. In the size of artwork section, is this just for the art
    work itself? Mine is painted on 9×12 inch block so the paper
    is only approximately 0.5cm deep. Is this what I should enter
    or should I enter the size of it framed? Thank you in advance.

      Hello Michelle,

      There are no silly questions when it comes to entering the competition! Especially if it’s your first time. It makes perfect sense that you would want to get it right and we are more than happy to help.

      At the initial submission stage, you only need to provide the dimensions of the artwork itself. Height x Width x Depth and we measure in centimetres.

      Follow this link for the complete Rules, Guidelines and Submission Criteria or you can email me clare@jacksonsart.co.uk.

      All the best,

      Clare

    I’m using my iPad, but don’t understand
    how to name the photo file as instructed as
    changing a file name can’t be done on an
    iPad apparently

    • Clare McNamara 24 January 2020 at 8:19 pm

      Hello Gillian,
       
      Thanks for getting in touch. This is common issue with iPads and unfortunately, I haven’t found a solution to it yet.
       
      However, if you would like to send the images to me here: clare@jacksonsart.co.uk I will rename them for you. Alternatively, you could complete your entry and when you’re done, let me know and I will update the image file names for you.
       
      Kind regards,
       
      Clare

    Hi, I understand we should send a digital
    image of the artwork. If chosen, are we
    required to send the actual artwork?
    Unmounted? Thank you!

    • Clare McNamara 26 February 2020 at 9:17 am

      Hello Luisa,
       
      Thanks for getting in touch. If you are shortlisted and based in the UK, you will be invited to send in your work (if under 1.2 m on longest side) to be considered for the Jackson’s Painting Prize finalists exhibition at the Affordable Art Fair Hampstead. However, this is not compulsory. If exhibited, your work must be for sale, for less than £6000. Furthermore, if you do decide to send it in, the work must be exhibition-ready for us to hang. This might mean a frame or not. Just however you choose to display it.
       
      In saying that, Jackson’s Painting Prize can be won on a jpg of the artwork alone, as it is not required to be from the UK, nor to exhibit to win the main prize, or any of the other prizes.
       
      I hope that helps and if you have any more questions, feel free to get in touch.
       
      Best, Clare

    Hello, I wonder if you could help me, I can’t seem to find a way to
    name my file? I’ve tried on my iPad and MacBook. I’m sure there’s
    an easy way but I can’t find it and would be really greatful for your
    help,
    kind regards Michelle

  • Hugo Watney 25 January 2021 at 10:08 pm

    Hello,

    Once we have submitted our works will we
    have to send in the originals?

    • Clare McNamara 1 February 2021 at 8:22 am

      Hi Hugo,
       
      The competition is all online. However, if you are a UK based shortlisted artist, you will be invited to send your work to us to be considered for the Affordable Art Fair Hampstead finalists exhibition in September (social distancing regulations permitting). Otherwise, you will not be required to send the physical work to us, unless specifically requested. You can find out more in the FAQ section of Jackson’s Painting Prize website or email jpp@jacksonsart.co.uk.
       
      Thanks, Clare

    Hello. I am preparing my submission and I
    signed up as an emerging artist… I
    perhaps should have signed up as a
    professional artist (I sell my work and
    have gallery representation, but am in no
    way well-known) but I was not sure of the
    difference. Does this matter? Thanks for
    your feedback.

    • Clare McNamara 16 February 2021 at 11:44 am

      Hi Jennifer,
      Thank you for your question. It’s up to you how you define yourself as an artist. The definitions are there as a guide really.
      If you’re unsure or would like to change it, you can change anything on your entry form all the way up until the deadline.
      All the best,
      Clare
