Gallery Submission Guidelines

We're inviting artists to create bold, original responses to the Festival's themes.

We would love to present your work in a curated collection of limited-edition posters — sold through the Festival platform to a wide, engaged audience.

Whether you're an emerging talent or an established name, this is a chance to earn from your work and be part of something creative, community-driven and inspiring.

The Rules...

  • But, to make it interesting, here are a few rules:

  • Entries must be in black and white.

  • Entries must be square and exactly 12x12 inches — the size of a vinyl album cover!

  • Finally, entries must – somehow – include some visual reference to Midhurst.

Submission Process

  • First of all, open a user account and log in to submit

  • Submit digital artwork suitable for 12 x 12 inches (300 DPI)

  • Choose how many copies you'd like to offer

  • Set your own price

  • Add some biographical detail if you wish

  • Optional: if you wish to supply a limited number of signed artist's proofs for collectors – we suggest the number should be more than 10% of the limited edition run – then choose the number you wish to make available. These will automatically be priced 20% higher than your normal price.

Terms & Conditions

  • 12.5% admin fee per sale; the rest is yours

  • You retain full copyright but the Festival will retain sole sales agency rights over the artwork.

  • We will organise printing, packaging, posting and – if you are providing signed proofs – signing.

Deadlines

  • Entries must be received by 30th September.

  • Winners will be notified on 15th October.

  • Winners will be announced and presented with their award at the Festival Directors Reception (6pm at the South Downs Centre Memorial Hall on Friday 14th November).
