In conjunction with the Society's Annual Scientific Conference
and AGM, the Society invites unpublished entries to this competition which will be judged
and displayed at the Conference in Orange in September 2008. The
competition is open to members and non-members of the Society who are not employed or
contracted as professional illustrators for fee or reward. |
Entries, up to three per entrant, must be whole body (dorsal or
lateral views) taxonomic illustrations of insects or other invertebrates. The mounted
illustrations should not exceed 21 x 30cm (approximately A4 size) and must be suitable for
reproduction after reduction by 50%.
Please note that these conditions will be strictly applied this year. |
Entries must be in the hands of the Conference Organiser by the
date advertised on the conference website.
Postal entries must be carefully packed and include stamps or postal order sufficient
to cover the cost of return postage, where necessary. |
