Art piece Guidance
Please submit pieces using good quality photos that capture the entire piece, try to crop with a
margin around the edges. Suggested file size of no more than 9MB of a piece that you feel best
expresses the theme of dehumanisation. We are only accepting work that is created by freehand

artists we want individual and honest submissions. Please make sure to add your GMC number to
the entry or within your e-mail to us. We would recommend a 2D piece that you can easily frame
within 4 weeks or that is already framed and less than A2 in size. 3D pieces that you would be
happy to transport to the venue and are less than A3 in size are also welcome. You can in no more
than 300 words tell us a bit about the piece, technicals and why you think it fits the theme.
Photo Guidance
Please submit any original photos you have taken yourself and believe express the theme of
dehumanisation that you would be happy to have uploaded on to our socials for an online vote.
Photos should be good quality and reduced to 9MB. Make sure to add your GMC number on to
the photo. Make sure that you have the necessary permissions, if it is a photograph of identifiable
people or taken in places where permits are required. You can in no more than 300 words tell us a
bit about the piece, technicals and why you think it fits the theme.

Note: Please don’t overthink or be worried about “perfect” if you are creative and enjoy
expressing yourself in the above modes that’s all you need. We are very much thinking long term
and want to find ways for doctor creatives to speak up and advocate using these talents. Just email us, we won’t bite!
T&C: Whilst we have no current plans to check for plagiarism, if we do find this has occurred it will
mean an automatic rejection and where relevant, dis-invitation.
