Digital Entries

The National Portrait Gallery in London has announced that it will be accepting digital entries for the BP Portrait Award 2015. In fact this will be the first stage of entry for all artists. Judges will consider digital photos in the first round of the competition. Those who pass the first round will then be invited to hand-deliver or courier their paintings to the judging venue in London for the final selection. This new system will make it quicker and easier for artists from around the world to submit their work. Details will be announced when the Gallery issues its Call for Entries in November 2014.
