Please pardon my ignorance on this, and, maybe I'm just missing something.

Why is it that all entries must be for sale? Would this not exclude all commissioned work?

[Seamus Berkeley]

Yes, this does preclude entries that are not for sale. It does not preclude the possibility of a new work being commissioned as a result of the exhibition. Portraiture is not only completed on a commission basis.

Thanks for your interest,
