Please no bulky collage or computer generated images.
SIZE OF PAPER:
Up to A3 (42cms X 30cms)
Pictures must NOT be mounted
YAO recommends children use rectangular sized, good quality paper (not A4 printer paper); good quality paper photographs better which means better images for the website and printed products
ENTRY FEE:

NUMBER OF ENTRIES:
One picture per child accompanied by entry fee. Joint entries are not allowed.
A minimum of 5 pictures need to be submitted in any age category entered by your school.
If there are less than 5 pictures in one age category, they may be judged in a mixed-schools group.
LABELLING OF WORK:
Name, school year and school must be clearly marked in block capitals on the back of each entry.
Please do not put names or signatures on the front of the picture.
A short explanation or title may be given to the work and those details written on the back of the picture.
We will try to include these details if the picture is selected.
Each school should provide a complete list of the children and their year group, together with a summary of the numbers of pictures submitted per age category.
SELECTION:
The number of pictures selected from each school is a proportion of the total submitted by that school, so the more entries there are from your school, the more pictures will be exhibited.
PRIZES:
For each of the 4 age categories our judges select a 1st, 2nd and 3rd prize winner.
Judges will also select Highly Commended and Commended pictures for each age category.
The Ruskin School of Art will also be awarding a prize in each age category - click here for details.
RETURN OF PICTURES:
If a child's picture has not been selected, it will be returned to their school after the exhibition.
If a child's picture has been selected and bought at the exhibition by their family, it will be returned to you via their school after the exhibition.
If a child's picture has been selected but has not been bought at the exhibition, we will not be able to return it. This is to encourage exhibitors and their parents to support the event by buying the pictures for a non-specified donation.
