Adult Acquisition Awards
Chosen from Adult Sections 1-11
HOW ACQUISITION AWARDS WORK
The Acquisition awards are funded from pledges made by the acquirer in exchange for the art that they select. The Acquirer will pledge a pre-determined amount, for example $1,000, which becomes the acquisition prize. They are then able to choose a work up to a value of 125% of their pledged amount, in this example to a value of $1,250. The artist will receive the acquisition prize in lieu of their work. There is currently no commission paid on acquisitions.
Our Acquisition prizes work in that the Acquisition prize paid will be no less than what the artist would have received had they sold the work and paid 27.5% commission.
