Descriptions

Please fill in the Description box on the Submit and Entry page. This description will be displayed alongside your work if it is selected for the exhibition, so it is a good opportunity to let us know the thought processes behind the piece.

If you would like to record a visual or audio description then please let the EARTH2050 competition organisers know when you submit your entry. This will be displayed alongside your work if it is selected for the exhibition.

Disclaimer

Due to the large volume of entries, we apologise that it is impossible to give individual feedback or a critique on unselected work. As with any judged ‘open submission’ exhibition, it is possible that your work may not be selected. We understand that this may come as a disappointment, but it is important to realise that this is the competitive nature of this popular exhibition. We only have a finite amount of exhibition space; the number of incredibly talented individuals who apply far outnumbers the amount of work we are able to display. The event organisers are unable to enter into a discussion with individual artists about the reasons their work(s) has not been selected. The decision of the selection panel is final.
