Kia ora koutou

Thank you for participating in the ArtBeat Ōtorohanga Exhibition, we are excited to see your work and are looking forward to a successful event.

Before we start, important information for registering your artwork for the exhibition.

Registration is open from 20th July and closes on the 1st of October. This allows us time to organize all the labels etc before the event happens October 17/18th.

Read all of the below then if you are ready to proceed....Click the "Register" button to begin your artwork registration. You only need 1 "ticket" per artist (and each artists must fill out an individual form as it only allows you to add up to 2 artworks plus an optional miniature piece).

The following pages will ask for the artwork details, so have your title, dimensions, price (including the 10% commission for when it sells) sorted as you can not save the form as you go. If you have a image please upload it. Closer to the date each artist will be contacted for a photo of yourself, an example of your artwork and a wee bio which will be in a folder/displayed at the event and used to promote each artists on social media. Once you have registered your entry, if you need to change any details ie change a title, change painting, or add a mini one etc you can do this by emailing the address at the bottom of this page.

Questions marked as 'required' must be answered but if you have any trouble with entering, email Rebecca (address way below) and I will help you out
