Guidelines for Photography<\/h3>\n

Photograph your artwork outside in natural light to ensure true colors and minimize shadows. If it\u2019s windy, have someone hold it or prop it against a wall. If the artwork is on paper, tape it to a board to keep it flat. Avoid shadows from nearby objects, and angle the piece if it\u2019s too sunny.<\/p>\n

To get a clear, undistorted photo, align the edges of your artwork with the edges of the picture and fill the frame. If using a camera with zoom, stand about 1.5\u20132 meters away and zoom in to cut out the background. This way, you won\u2019t need to edit the photo later. Lastly, make sure the flash is turned off to avoid white spots on your image.<\/p>\n

Presentation of Artwork<\/h3>\n

The final drawing or painting must be no larger than A2, and please ensure that the uploaded image is clear, as judging will take place online.<\/p>\n

Photograph your artwork digitally and upload it to The Pony Club Art Competition portal below, along with the online entry form. If you are successful, we may ask you to send your artwork to us to be displayed at events such as Windsor, London International, and The Pony Club Championships.<\/p>\n

Judging<\/h3>\n

We have a diverse group of highly accomplished judges for this competition.<\/p>\n
