Stage One
I) A panel of eminent jurors will select the winning commission. By registering his/her interest and submitting his/her details and concept proposals, the artist agrees to be bound by the rules and terms and conditions of entry and by the decision of the judging organisation, which is final and binding in all aspects, being specified that jurors are not obliged to provide reasons for their decision.
II) Jurors will not enter into correspondence with artists.
III) Only one artist (or collective, should the application be made as a duo/group) will be commissioned.
IV) Designs must be the artist’s own work and not breach any third party’s intellectual property rights in any way. Artists must declare the names of any third parties who may have intellectual property, moral or other rights in any part of the work submitted. Artists must be able to demonstrate on demand that any third party rights have been assigned, licensed or waived as appropriate for all relevant purposes. In the case of copyright infringement, the artists will assume full responsibility, the commission will be cancelled and the artist will reimburse the commissioner any fees paid and costs incurred.
V) All submissions must comply with the rules and if they do not comply they shall be disqualified.
VI) By completing a submission, artists’ contact information will be entered into Art Jameel’s database.
Stage Two
I) Artists shall agree to take part in related promotional photographs, interviews and similar publicity activities as may be reasonably requested. Notably the use of the artist’s name, biography and image of work may be used for publicity.
