All techniques and media are accepted: painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, mixed media, photography, and digital work. The show is open to UK and international artists with no eligibility restriction by career stage.

Prizes are £600 (first), £300 (second), and a set of highly commended certificates. Selected works hang in the RBSA's main gallery space.
