Is there a separate entry form for the Craigs Investment Partners Youth Art Award?
No, it is the same online form. All youth are judged on the same platform as the rest of the artists. When we get to the finalist stage of judging, artists will let us know (by an additional finalist form) their age if they choose to.
The guest judge chooses the Youth Award Art winner. Having said that, a youth artist may win the major award (or runner up award), which will take priority over a youth art award win.

If I am asked to send my work in, how do I package it?
Keep in mind that:
- Your work will be unpacked by people who haven’t seen what is inside.
- Artwork packaging will be re-used.
- For better protection and tape adhesion, bubbles on bubble wrap should face outwards.
- Avoid making large sheets of bubble wrap out of small sheets of bubble wrap UNLESS it is easily re-usable (i.e. time saving cut marks are clearly visible).
- Similarly, avoid making “Frankenstein” boxes that require extensive re-piecing.
- Avoid putting artwork faces in contact with packaging materials that are to be cut open.
- Ensure that package edges are well sealed.
- Make opening procedure clear – dash cut-lines, “open here” etc are good.
