UPDATE JAN25 2023
The Competition relies entirely on entry fees and book sales to fund prizes, create the next book and produce the exhibition. Entry fees account for just 10% of the Competition’s income with the rest made up from book sales. The book sells out very quickly every year and this sets us up for the next year, but 80% of book sales come from tourist shops and galleries, and due to the pandemic, we suffered 2 years without any sales. This left us with a large quantity of unsold books and with no tourism, were are effectively starting the Competition from scratch again in 2023 and our prize fund is much reduced. At this point in time, we are hopeful to provide a cash prize for the overall winner but we cannot confirm the exact amount. The current prizes are listed below for 2023.
