How to enter
Entrants must register on the Competition website at https://thetrafalgarway.awardsplatform.com/ ("Competition website") in order to submit an entry. They may submit as many photographs or artworks as they like as long as they pay the required entry fee for each submitted work, complete all required details and agree to these Terms and Conditions.
All entries are to be made as digital files and uploaded to the Competition website as a pdf, .jpg or .png. In ART categories, original artwork may measure anything from A6 to A1 in size. Maximum dimensions are 841mm by 594mm. For physical pieces, entrants will be required to take a good-quality photograph of their artwork and submit that. Entries are not to be physically posted, unless the Promoter requests it in writing. If an entry is shortlisted for the final judging round, the Promoter may ask for the original to be posted to them at that time. Entrants should keep the work safe as the Promoter may require the original if the entry is a winner, for the purposes of exhibiting and making a professional-standard photographic copy for exhibition, publication or other commercial use.
Amendments to entries and entry details may be made on the Competition submission website up to the Competition deadline of midnight on 16th April 2021.
