Exhibiting

A very high standard of work is sought and met at the exhibition of photography. Exhibits must comprise a minimum of eight photographs presented on an horticultural theme. These can be plant portraits or scenes of gardens. See guidelines and regulations for further information. Each exhibit is judged by the Photographic Committee, and awards are given accordingly.

Submission meeting

Any photographers who have not exhibited in the past and would like their work considered for exhibition are invited to submit examples of their work to the Photographic Committee for the March 2008 meeting. The deadline is Friday 29 February 2008. Before submitting, please contact the Photographic Committee Secretary .

Photography submissions

Four unframed photographic prints are to be sent to the Photographic Committee Secretary before the selection meeting. These should be clearly labelled with the photographer’s name and address, the subject of the picture and the processes used in creating the print. The prints submitted for consideration do not need to be presented on a theme. Group exhibitors should ensure that one piece from each photographer is submitted.

It is recommended that you hand deliver and collect your prints from the Picture Library. If, however, you are unable to do so, please make alternative arrangements with the Secretary . If posting your photographs within the UK, it is strongly recommended that they be sent Special Delivery.

Photographers will be sent written feedback from the Photographic Committee with the returned photographs.

A £500 fund is available annually, to be divided between two or more photographers. Potential applicants should apply to the Secretary of the Bursary Committee, following acceptance of their work by the Photographic Committee. All photographers are required to submit work to the Committee for approval before they are accepted as an exhibitor at the show.

Please note: For publicity purposes, candidates who are successful in receiving an award will be requested to provide copes of their images for use in RHS publications and on RHS Online. The copyright in all photographs produced is retained by the photographer and all reproductions of the works would be credited wherever possible.
