A point of note that everyone should know about this show, for anyone living outside of England, it is VERY difficult to enter this show.

I did last year and it was a drag, you have to send the ORIGINAL painting for judging just to see if you can get in, and you have to make special arrangements with the curator to get the painting sent to them and then when you have to get the piece back, DHL wouldn't go to the neighborhood where your painting is because of "high crime rate" in the area.

Unless you have a STELLAR CONTEMPORARY portrait, you should reconsider trying to enter the show, they are looking for very modern, contemporary portraits.

Just my two cents.
