*One Step Greener Competition*

For our second online exhibition of the year we will be putting together 
an exhibition of members work on the theme of “One Step Greener”. We 
very much hope everyone will take some time to create and share an 
artwork inspired by the theme.  The Climate Emergency is of course 
something that there is growing awareness of and I have “borrowed” this 
title from the COP26 conference taking place in November. Individual 
works should reflect this theme but need not have that title and you may 
wish to use recycled materials in your work. Any media welcome – making 
the most of the freedom that online will give us.

*Handing in Instructions for One Step Greener *

Bromley Art Society invites members to submit works for our second 
online exhibition with the overall title of “One Step Greener”.

Works may be in any art medium, except photography, and in any size or 
format, 2D or 3D. Submission will in the form of a photograph of 
the work. We are not planning for this to be a selling exhibition. 
Exhibitors will have the option to include a short text about their work 
and/or contact details but this is not compulsory.

Submissions must be made at the latest by Sunday 31 October 2021 - which 
coincidentally happens to be the first day of the COP26 conference in 
Glasgow, but we will post the work as it is received so earlier is fine. 
We will vote by email as before and the winner will be announced 
during November and will feature on the front page of our website. 
Voting details will be sent nearer the time. The Committee will 
adjudicate in the event of a draw.

The exhibition is planned to be in place for a minimum of 2 months and I 
hope we will hold another competition for the new year.

As we don’t intend to have works for sale this time in this instance it 
will be free for members to enter. Each Member may submit 1 work.

The small print

The committee reserves the right to reject any work that is not of 
sufficient standard or is otherwise unsuitable for public display. 
Copyright in the works remains with the artist but submission allows the 
Society to display the work during the online exhibition and in 
advertising material for the Society thereafter.

Photography

The photograph should show flat works without frames and without glazing 
and should be cropped to include only the work itself. 3D works should 
be sufficiently lit and have an appropriate background if needed. If you 
can please Photographs should have a resolution of at least 924 x 924 
pixels and no more than 1200 on the longest edge and in .jpg format and 
it really helps us if you have saved the image with your name in the 
file name.  If there are any questions please let us know on 
exhibitions at bromleyartsociety.org.uk 
<mailto:exhibitions at bromleyartsociety.org.uk>.

Publicity

Due to the current situation we will not be able to rely on flyers and 
posters so we will be reliant on social media and word of mouth for 
publicity.  We will post on our facebook/Instagram/twitter groupa but 
please, we also rely on you to spread the word. Please contact us if you 
can help. We will use images of your entries in the Society publicity.
