Portrait competition
No, entry is free.
No, it is a painting competition. A photography portrait is not permitted.
The artwork can be made using any medium (e.g. oil, acrylic, watercolour, mixed media), except it cannot be a photograph.
The theme is portraiture of a human subject. The artwork must be a portrait of a person known to the artist and painted from life (with at least one live sitting). The artwork may be a self-portrait of the artist.
Subject person is the person whose portrait is painted by the artist. The subject person may be the artist (i.e. a self-portrait).

- Signed approval letter from the subject person (see below)

The following is text that can be used for the approval letter, which must be signed by the subject person:
I …. [full legal name of the subject person] … confirm that I have had at least one live sitting for the portrait with … [full legal name of the artist] … , who is the artist that produced the portrait.

Live sitting means both the artist and the subject person are physically together in the same room whilst the artist is working on producing the artwork.
There must be at least one live sitting. The live sitting cannot be via video link. The artist should take a video of the live sitting as proof, for submission with the competition entry.
The artist does not have to finish the portrait at the live sitting, nor does the live sitting have to be at the start of the creative process. The artist can take photographs and do sketches during the live sitting to keep as references to help complete the portrait when the subject person is not present. 'Virtual sittings' via video can also be part of the process, provided there is at least one live sitting.
Yes. However, the subject person must be present with you for at least one live sitting. You can use photographs taken during the live sitting, or taken at other times, to complete the portrait.
No, the artwork does not need to be sent at the time of submitting the entry form, but you must hold the painting for later submission if required.
There will be a first round of judging using the submitted photograph(s) and video file(s), after which a short list of entries will be selected for exhibition and final judging. The exhibition will be an online virtual exhibition using a high-resolution photograph of the artwork.
It is planned that final judging will be completed without the need to send the physical artwork for judging. However, if your artwork is short-listed, there may be a requirement to send the artwork to Singapore for final judging.
You must hold the painting for at least one year after competition entries close (i.e. until 30 September 2023) or until the portrait is sold, whichever occurs first.

Shipping & Tax
Shipping costs are determined based on the price, dimensions, weight, shipping origin and shipping destination. Shipping costs include all packaging, handling, and insurance fees. However, for purchases that involve international shipping, the shipping cost excludes any required import taxes, customs duties, GST, VAT or other taxes that may be payable in the destination country. You will be required to pay any such destination country taxes or duties separately after the artwork has arrived in the destination country.
Any required sales tax payable in the country of artwork origin will be calculated at the applicable rate and automatically included in the sale price, paid when checking out using the cart on our website. However, if the purchase involves international shipping, the sale price and the shipping cost both exclude any taxes and/or duties payable in the destination country.
For purchases that involve international shipping, you, the buyer, will be responsible for making separate payment of any required import taxes or duties after the artwork shipment has arrived in your destination country (e.g. import tax, customs duty, goods and services tax (GST), Value Added Tax (VAT)). If such a payment is required, the shipping provider will contact you and/or send you an invoice for separate payment.
If a sales tax or goods and services tax (GST) is payable in the artwork sale country of origin, it will automatically be included in the sale price, so that component of tax will be paid at the time of purchase using the online cart.
If the origin and destination countries are different, any required tax or duty for import into your destination country is not included in the amount paid when checking out and paying with the online cart. You will be responsible for paying any required taxes or duties for import separately. The international shipping provider will invoice you separately for the import tax or duty after the artwork has arrived in your country.
Artworks are packaged either by the artist or by Asian Contemporary Art Gallery using a standardised packaging process designed to protect the artwork.
Processing and shipping times vary according to the packaging status at the time of purchase, shipping origin and shipping destination. Most orders are processed and shipped within 5 to 10 business days. Some items may be processed faster, while others might take more time if they require special packaging or handling. If the shipping time is expected to be longer than usual, this information will be stated on the artwork information page.
You will receive a shipment confirmation email with a tracking number after the shipping provider collects the packaged artwork for shipment. You can check the status of your package and the estimated delivery date online using the tracking number.
Yes, all packages must be accepted and signed for at the time of delivery. Due to the valuable nature of artworks, your artwork package should not be left unattended.

We ship to all countries that have access by international shipping providers.

Framing & Care
Paintings on canvas will be shipped either rolled in a tube, or stretched on a wooden frame without an external perimeter framing. However, we can provide an external frame if requested. If you are interested in this, please contact us to enquire. However, please consider that framing will increase the size and weight of the artwork, thereby increasing the shipping cost for international shipments.
Proper framing, installation, cleaning and storage of your artwork are required to help prevent damage and to preserve the artwork.
All drawings, paintings on paper and prints that are not in storage should be framed to protect them from direct sunlight, humidity, moisture, dust and heat.

The images of the Works shown on the Site are for illustrative purposes only. Although every effort has been made to display the colours accurately, the colours of the Works will be affected by the setting of the devices you use to view the images of the Works.
Information provided on the Site in respect of the Works and their creators are gathered by us directly from the creators, vendors and/or owners of the Works or through publicly available sources. While we make every effort to ensure that the information provided on the Site is accurate, we are unable to confirm that the information is accurate or complete. You are advised to conduct your own independent checks on all information relating to the Works, including their creators before ordering any Work(s).
While we make every effort to ensure that the Works are genuine and authentic, we make no warranty or representation that the Works are indeed genuine or authentic and you are advised to conduct you own independent checks on whether the Works are genuine and authentic.
If a Work that has been purchased and fully paid by you is discovered to be fake, we will refund to you the price of the Work and the delivery charges (if any) paid by you, within 21 business days from the date the Company receives supporting evidence from you proving that the Work is fake. For the avoidance of doubt, all refunds shall be subject to our assessment, at our discretion, that the Work purchased by you is in fact a fake.
We will use your personal information in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
Our Site will guide you through the steps you need to take to place an order with us. Our order process allows you to check and amend any errors before submitting your order to us. Please check your order and the information contained therein carefully at each stage of the order process.
After you place an order and pay for the Work(s), you will receive confirmation of the payment made by you. However, please note that the issuance of payment confirmation or a receipt does not mean that your order has been accepted by us. Our acceptance of your order will take place when we send the shipment tracking details for your order to you (the "Tracking Details"). Any order that is paid by you (including any handling and delivery charges) but not accepted by us will be refunded to you as soon as possible.
If we are unable to supply you with a Work, for example because the Work has been withdrawn for sale by its creator, owner or seller, we cannot meet your requested delivery date or because of an error in the price on our Site, we will inform you of this by e-mail or by calling you and we will not process your order. If you have already paid for the Work(s), we will refund you the full amount including any handling and delivery costs charged as soon as possible.
For the avoidance of doubt, no Contract is formed between you and the Company in respect of the Work(s) ordered by you until your order has been reviewed and accepted by the Company. Upon our acceptance of your order, we will send the Tracking Details to you.
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion and without notice to you, to modify, discontinue or terminate the Site or to modify these Terms.

If the modified Terms are not acceptable to you, you may cease using the Site.
In respect of each Work, the Terms in force at the time of your order will form the Contract between you and us subject to our acceptance of your order.
For the avoidance of doubt, the Terms are subject to the relevant laws and regulatory requirements in Singapore, which shall prevail over the Terms and shall apply to all orders made with us through the Site.
If we have to revise the Terms in respect of your order prior to our acceptance of your order, we will contact you to give you reasonable advance notice of the changes and let you know how to cancel the order if you are not agreeable to the changes to the Terms. If you choose to cancel your order prior to shipping confirmation, we will arrange a full refund of the price you have paid, including any handling, delivery and insurance charges.

The price of a Work will be the price as quoted on our Site at the time you submit your order. We take all reasonable care to ensure that the prices of Works are reflected on the Site correctly. However, if we discover an error in the price of the Works ordered by you but before your order is accepted by us and before delivery of the Work is made, we will contact you to inform you in writing of this error and we will give you the option of continuing with the purchase of the Works at the correct price or cancelling your order. We will not process and accept your order until we have your written instructions. If we are unable to contact you, within three (3) days from the date of your order, using the contact details provided by you during the order process, we will not accept your order and treat it as cancelled. Further, we will refund the payment made by you and notify you in writing.
