Your dates are giving me a headache. The T&C’s labelled “Collie Art Prize 2023” state an opening date of 11 October 22 and closing date of 9 December 2022. That sounds like they relate to the 2022 prize. Is that correct? Under the title “Eligible Artworks” in the 2023 T&C’s, it states “The Artwork must have been undertaken and completed by the artist in the 24 months immediately preceding the closing date for entries of 07 January 2023.” So, is the closing date 9/12/22 or 07/01/23? Then on the website it says, “Beginning on March 4, 2023, the eight-week CAP2023 is sure to be a hit with the creatives of Australia. Entries open Tuesday, October 11, and will close Friday, December 9.” Is that 2022 or 2023? Please advise b4 my head explodes.
Payam Parishandzadeh

Hello Simon and thanks for your inquiry.
Collage artists are welcome to enter so long as the depth of the work does not exceed the 100mm stated in the Terms and Conditions, the work can be hung on D-rings attached on the back of the work, and weight and dimension limits meet our requirements.
Good luck with your entry.

Hi, I have lived in WA for 3 years and am in the process of getting my permanent residency. I have my partnership visa. Am I able to enter in the CAP? Regards, Hazel
Payam Parishandzadeh
Hello Hazel,
Thank you for your interest to enter the CAP2023.
Unfortunately, your residency status does not permit you to enter this year’s competition. We hope you will be able to enter in two years’ time.
All the best with your art practice.

Hi there, when do you notify finalists of selection? Thanks
Payam Parishandzadeh
Hello Alix,
This is planned on or around 20 January 2023. They should then have enough time to organise a freighter to dispatch their work.
All the best with your entry.

Luke
Hello, are there any rules surrounding what can and can’t be submitted within he artwork? for example I have many oil paintings I have done copying older paintings from 1800s or copying photographs of celebrities or photographs of animals, all done entirely on my own and not traced, but I used reference images. Is this allowed or is there a copyright issue here?
Thank you
Payam Parishandzadeh
Good morning,
As there is nothing against using a reference in the Terms and Conditions, you can enter your work.
All the best with your entry.
Collie Art Gallery Team
Caroline Telfer
Luke,
While there is nothing specifically in the rules of this competition preventing you from entering an artwork copied from photos of celebrities or animals, there are copyright issues if you have not obtained permission from the photographer. For photographs taken before 1955, or where the photographer has died more than 70 years ago that won’t apply, but be careful about more recent photos.
If you need to know how this relates to your images look up the Copyright Agency.

Thank you

Can I enter a painting that I have previously entered in another competition? I can’t see anything in the Terms and Conditions that disallows this.
Thanks
Payam Parishandzadeh
Hello Jo,
Although it has not been mentioned in the Terms and Conditions, the work needs to have been created for the Collie Art Prize 2023.
All the best
Rhys
Hi, I would like to clarify around “No digital media (inclusive of any form of digital media in the mixing, creation, or structures of an entry/artwork) or photography will be accepted”, would based off this criterion exclude a textile work that has been “printed”? Photography was used in the creation of the work, but it is very much a textile.
Payam Parishandzadeh
Hello Rhys,
Unfortunately, such a work does NOT meet the requirements for entry.
We hope you will be able to enter the Collie Art Prize in the future.

Hi, I’ve entered but seem to have a glitch with my mail. Can you confirm receipt of my entry please?
Jade
Hi,
Just wondering if the picture I upload needs to be including the frame that it will be in if selected. I’ve a finished piece but not sure the framing will be done by the date specified.
Kind regards,
Jade
Payam Parishandzadeh
Hello,
Your entry does not have to be framed at the time of entry, but please bear in mind that the dimensions of your framed work must be maximum 2m each way.
All the best with your entry,

I’m a NZer living in Australia for the last 10 years, can I enter the CAP?
Payam Parishandzadeh
Hello,
Thank you for your interest to enter the CAP2023. Please have a look at the excerpt below from the Terms and Conditions.
“The submitting Artist must be an Australian citizen or have been an Australian permanent resident as of 1 January 2022 and is aged 18 years or over.”
You can enter if any of the above applies to you.
All the best,

Maureen
Ho folks
In the above response, you said:
“Accepted entries need to be delivered to Collie Art Gallery 20-27 February 2023 or to Artist’s Chronicle depot in Fremantle on 22 February 2023″ but the T&Cs say the following:
Delivered to “Artist Chronicle”,130 South Street, BEACONSFIELD WA (Tel. 08 9336 1861) on Wednesday, 22 February 2023, between 2–4pm”
Could you please confirm which Artist Chronicle delivery address is correct?
Payam Parishandzadeh
Hello Maureen,
You can either choose to deliver your entry directly to the Collie Art Gallery between those two dates at the address below.
134 Throssell Street, Collie WA 6225
or let Artist’s Chronicle do it for you, in which case you need to drop off your work at their depot located at 130 South Street, Beaconsfield WA on 22 February 2023, between 2-4pm.
We hope that clarifies.
Maureen
Thanks for clarifying because your response to queries dated 9/9 gave a Fremantle address.
Beaconsfield is close to work so I don’t have to take much time off to deliver this on the 22nd February
Denise
