LAUNCHING on Thursday 18 May 2017, the exhibition will run until Sunday 20 August 2017. All work included in the exhibition will be for sale, with 10% of sales going back to The Biscuit Factory Foundation to facilitate future opportunities for artists.

JUDGING will take place during the exhibition, featuring a panel of experts.

PRIZES - The WINNER will receive £1,000 and the opportunity for a solo show of work at The Biscuit Factory, along with a comprehensive press package. There will also be a PEOPLES CHOICE WINNER. Voted for by the public, they will receive a £250 prize.
