Artists submitting entries to Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe 2012 are to please note:
- Important changes to previous Application Forms are marked with an asterisk (*);
- It can be difficult for the curatorial panel to assess your submission if you do not express your ideas clearly and succinctly with all the requested information;
- Provide supporting material including your CV and images of similar previous works.
- While we sell a couple of sculptures for over $100,000 each year, we would like to encourage artists to consider exhibiting more modest works, especially if you are not known to the Perth market as most sculptures priced under $20,000 sell;
