  10. If an exhibit is bought the customer takes it immediately Artists are texted every time a piece of art is sold with the  "happy news" so they can bring in a replacement piece!
  11. Bubble wrapping service is free
  12. RACKS: There is space for greeting card displays. But might not be placed adjacent to where the  artist’s pictures are hung due to the risk of blocking the free flow of visitors. All work in racks must be wrapped in cellophane and individually and every single card and piece of art must be individually price labelled.
  13. PICTURE HANGING SYSTEM: We supply a vertical chain hanging system for framed pictures and photos. Our supplied chains hang down the boards and you affix your pictures to the chains with small "S" hooks (Provided).  So, all your picture frames must have pre-fitted horizontal hanging strings/ wires or D-rings or something similar to take the weight of the picture and take an S Hook. Pictures that have no fitted horizontal hanging strings/rings will not be hung in the exhibition
Here is a picture of how the chain hanging system works

14. LABELLING: Each craft, photos and paintings must be clearly labelled, with a label facing frontwards. This is for the benefit of the curator, the visitors, the stewards and also the admin staff who handle the sale of exhibits during the 3 days of the exhibition. Details on the label must include a) the artist’s full name, b) the media used, c) the title, d) a selling price [or Not For Sale] and e) your art organisation (if applicable).  If an exhibit is not properly labelled it will not be included in the exhibition. 

here is an example of a well designed label

Both exhibitors (or just one if they win both categories) receives a cash prize. All exhibitors are included in the Public Vote.
