FAQ

  1. Does 'freestanding' sculpture mean that the sculpture cannot be fixed to a wall?
    Yes. All works submitted for the Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize are required to stand on a flat base.

  2. Can I supply my own plinth?
    There is flexibility for finalists to negotiate the use of their own plinths if required (e.g. if the work needs to be fixed or mounted in a unique way). If a custom made plinth is part of the work, then the dimensions of the plinth will be accounted for as part of the total dimensions of the work.

  3. I do not have enough space on the official entry form to complete the required information. What can I do?
    Additional pages may be utilized to complete your entry details, however please include the signed declaration on the official entry form as a record that you have read and understood the conditions of entry.

  4. What is the difference between the artist’s statement about the work and the artist’s biographical statement?
    The artist’s statement about the work is a short paragraph detailing some information about the submitted work such as background to the work and what the work represents. The artist’s biographical statement is a short paragraph which may include some details on the artist’s educational, career, exhibition, commissions or collections history.

  5. Can I submit more than one entry?
    Yes, more than one entry per artist can be submitted. A separate entry form for each work submitted is required.

  6. Can I submit more than one piece in the same entry?
    Yes, more than one work may be submitted as one entry as long as the size requirements are fulfilled (under 80cm in any dimension) and you have a purpose for doing this identified in your artist statement.

  7. Do I need to be a resident of Woollahra Municipality to enter?
    No, the competition is open to all artists, whether they reside locally, regionally or internationally.

  8. Can I enter a work that has specific technical requirements, i.e. power?
    There are opportunities to display finalists works that have specific requirements such as power. Please contact the Cultural Development Coordinator at sculpture@woollahra.nsw.gov.au prior to submitting your entry.

  9. If I am unable to pick up my work in person how can I have it returned?
    All finalists work will be packed by staff ready for collection by your chosen party. It is the responsibility of the artist to arrange all transportation and payment of transportation costs associated with their work. In past years artists have return couriered their work, as well as using Australia Post. There is no typical company used as it depends on the work and your preference of delivery.
    For more information please refer to Exhibition Criteria and Process within the entry form.

  10. If my work is purchased during the exhibition am I responsible for delivery of the work to the buyer?
    In most cases, Woollahra Small Sculpture Prize staff will facilitate any delivery communication between artist and buyer if required.
