Do I have to insure my work?
It is the responsibility of entrants to take out insurance which covers the works in transit to and from the storage facility, whilst at the storage facility, to and from the exhibition and throughout the duration of the exhibition. Works will be handled with due care, however, we cannot accept responsibility for any damage incurred to works in transit, in storage or throughout the exhibition.

Does my work have to be framed?
No, it is preferable for artworks to be framed to prevent damage, but it is not a requirement.

Should I attach hanging equipment to my work?
No, however the work must be ready to hang/install. We will use appropriate hanging equipment such as nails, D-rings, mirror plates or plinths. The work should be able to accommodate these. If you have any specific hanging or installation requirements please contact us at cassartprize@cassart.co.uk.

Can the exhibition be photographed by the public?
Visitors to the exhibition will be allowed to photograph the works, both individually and/or as installation shots and may share these images on their own social media platforms.

How will you promote the exhibitors?
Exhibitors may be asked to participate in promotional activities such as social media and may be photographed at the Prize Giving ceremony with their work. These images may be used by the press and will be used to promote the exhibition and artists’ work via The Cass Group’s various platforms. By participating, each entrant grants The Cass Group permission to use their name, artwork, likeness or comments for publicity purposes without payment or additional consideration, except where prohibited by law.
