by Emma Whitney The Best of British awards are designed to celebrate some of the finest creative work British artists have to offer! At this year’s show, there will be six classes for any work made by British model horse artists between October 2022 and September 2023.
There is one entry per artist per class. You must show your own work or proxy with permission, but do please let us know by email if you intend to proxy. BMECS cards are not needed to enter into these classes. Special prizes and rosettes will be awarded. Classes 4-6 will run on Saturday 30th September. Classes 1-3 will run on Sunday 1st October. *** 1. UK finishwork. Models of any material, including customs. Only paint job or custom glazing will be judged. Factory or AA finishwork is excluded from this class. 2. UK Custom Work. A model in any material that has been altered in any way, including rehairing. Complete customisation will be judged. 3. UK Sculpture. Must be shown blank/primed. 4. UK Props and Dolls. No horses please. Entry must consist of one doll OR one prop. 5. UK Tack. No dolls or props. You may have a horse or display stand if desired. Only the tack will be judged. 6. Pirate themed. Open to any creative work—finish work, custom work, sculpture, props, dolls, tack or scenery—that is pirate themed to fit the theme of this year’s show. If in doubt about whether your entry is appropriate to the theme, please ask. Your entry in this class may not also be entered into any of the other five classes. Please see comments section for clarification on scene entries and whether this can include bought items. *** Both realistic and fantasy entries are accepted, as are busts and medallions in classes 1-3. Plain stands and turntables are allowed in all classes but please do not include additional props or scenery in order to allow the individual piece to shine. References and progress photos are always welcomed. Note: Collaborative works are allowed if: 1. Both/all artists are British or Irish residents 2. Both/all have agreed to the entry being shown and there is proof of this (please email us before the show) 3. Both/all have decided how the prize is to be shared as there are no extras available 4. The collaboration is between two or more artists who both worked on the element specified in the class, for example two painters who both contributed to an entry in class 1. All entries must be entered by the artist themselves (or proxy). Entries may not be made by owners who did not create/work on the piece. Each entry may only be shown in one class. Happy making!
